Uploading Libraries

SWATHAtlas is a public resource of high-quality spectral ion libraries reported from different species and organisms. All libraries are freely available to download to the scientific community to aid in their DIA/SWATH analysis.

Guidelines to Upload Libraries

The SWATHAtlas repository accepts spectral ion libraries from the community irrespective of their affiliation. These libraries must align with the scope of the repository, correspond to the peer-reviewed publication, and have no conflict of interest. To ensure the upload of high-quality and accurate spectral libraries in supported formats, libraries must successfully pass the DIALib-QC (DQC) assessment. To provide users with confidence in DIA analysis, the DQC assessment report lists 64 characteristics of the library, which are published on the SWATHAtlas website. Please learn how to assess your library in DQC by following this tutorial. The library is refined until no mass error, conflict assays or non-standard parameters are observed and reported. DQC is capable of helping users to repair and correct their spectral ion library in most cases. Spectral libraries must be compliant with the file format requirements and stored in open formats such as csv, tsv etc. The DQC tutorial shows examples of different libraries formats. Users should provide information about the MS instrument used to collect the raw data, software/tool used to build the library, any modifications included in the database search, and accession numbers or DOI URL for deposited datasets using the form below. For any queries related to uploading libraries to SWATHAtlas and for technical support, please contact us via the DIALib-QC Google discussion group.
