error using "DIA raw" option when performing Import Peptide Search wphipps5  2024-02-21 14:53
 

Hi there-- I am trying out this "Start from: DIA Raw" option during Import Peptide Search of our DIA results. It runs for several hours but then gets an error message. Here is how it ends:

"[2024/02/21 12:08:14] INFO: Issued command:

The full output is attached as well as a pdf of my settings. I can provide the mzML files and the fasta.

Thanks

Someone else ran into this same error a year ago, and, unfortunately, it looks like we never tried to answer their question:
https://skyline.ms/announcements/home/support/thread.view?rowId=59547

It's conceivable that an error like this could be caused by a FASTA file that was much too small.

If you send us your FASTA file and your .mzML files, we could try to reproduce the error that you are running into.
You can package everything up in a .zip file and upload it here:

I had brought up the issue of a small fasta to Mike but he didn't expect it to be problematic here. Perhaps notably, however, using DIA-NN I also get no results with these mzML files when using a small fasta (compared to say the human proteome).

I uploaded a zip with the mzml and fasta.

Thank you

This worked for me.
I tried this with both Skyline 23.1 and Skyline-daily and I did not get any error.
I am attaching the .sky.zip file which I ended up with when I did this with Skyline-daily.
Also, I am attaching the output that I got when I did this with Skyline-daily and with Skyline 23.1.

Maybe you could look at the output that I got and figure something out. I wasn't able to see anything that would explain why your behavior is different, but maybe you'll see something.

Thank you. I may not be a 1:1 comparison because I only submitted 6 of the 41 mzML files. I'll try subsets of files and see if a particular file is a culprit or the total # of files is problematic.
