    abstract: Proteomics research routinely involves identifying peptides and proteins
      via MS/MS sequence database search. Thus the database search engine is an integral
      tool in many proteomics research groups. Here, we introduce the Comet search
      engine to the existing landscape of commercial and open-source database search
      tools. Comet is open source, freely available, and based on one of the original
      sequence database search tools that has been widely used for many years. © 2012

  metadata:
    abstract: The Comet database search software was initially released as an open
      source project in late 2012. Prior to that, Comet existed as the University
      of Washington's academic version of the SEQUEST database search tool. Despite
      its availability and widespread use over the years, some details about its implementation
      have not been previously disseminated or are not well understood. We address
      a few of these details in depth and highlight new features available in the
      latest release. Comet is freely available for download at http://comet-ms.sourceforge.net
      or it can be accessed as a component of a number of larger software projects
      into which it has been incorporated. (Figure Presented).
