Mascot is a software search engine that uses mass spectrometry data to identify proteins from peptide sequence databases.[1][2] Mascot is widely used by research facilities around the world. Mascot uses a probabilistic scoring algorithm for protein identification that was adapted from the MOWSE algorithm. Mascot is freely available to use on the website of Matrix Science.[3] A license is required for in-house use where more features can be incorporated.
