A Python interface to proteomics data repositories¶
ppx provides simple, programmatic access means to access proteomics data that are publicly available in ProteomeXchange [1] partner repositories. ppx allows users to easily find and download files associated with projects in PRIDE [2] and MassIVE [3].
Our intent is that ppx would provide an efficient method to reuse proteomics data that has been deposited in public repositories, thereby promoting reproducible research practices and enabling tool developers.
Installation¶
ppx requires Python 3.6+ and depends upon the requests and tqdm Python packages. ppx and any missing dependencies
can be installed with pip
: or conda
.
Install with conda
:
conda install -c bioconda ppx
Or install with pip
:
pip install ppx

For R Users¶
ppx was inspired by the rpx R package [4] written by Laurent Gatto. If you are an R user and want many of the same functionalities that ppx offers, check it out on Bioconductor <http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/rpx.html> and GitHub.
