Fig. 2. Overview of the tripartite graph modeling approach.

Fig. 2

a Tripartite graph construction: connect peptides to all proteins that contain them, and proteins to the host genes, to form a tripartite graph. b SEPEP identification: identify and group structurally equivalent peptides (SEPEP), i.e., peptides connecting to the same set of proteins in the graph. c FDR control: calculate SEPEP-level FDR and remove SEPEPs with an FDR higher than the pre-specified threshold, e.g., FDR > 0.01. d SEPEP classification and reporting: classify SEPEPs based on their patterns of connections and report SEPEP-level quantification. e A comparison between SEPEP analysis procedure and the classical parsimony protein inference-based procedure.
