Characterization of natural peptides in Pheretima by integrating proteogenomics and label-free peptidomics.

"ms proteomics data databases and results were deposited in the proteomexchange consortium via the pride partner repository under the dataset identifier pxd041497 3 3 1 3 1 1 the in-house theoretical pheretima protein databases of pa and pg were established in our laboratory based on the coding sequence prediction of transcriptome data which were uploaded to the ncbi website [ ]."
