SEQUEST correlates uninterpreted tandem mass spectra of peptides with amino acid sequences from protein and nucleotide databases. SEQUEST will determine the amino acid sequence and thus the protein(s) and organism(s) that correspond to the mass spectrum being analyzed.

This page was left untouched for about three years, but we've been working toward making this page a better source for current information about SEQUEST and its related tools. If you would like more information about a topic, please write us, and we'll see what we can do. Thank you for visiting our site!

SEQUEST is distributed by Thermo Finnigan, A division of Thermo Electron Corporation. Please contact your Finnigan sales representative for inquiries regarding acquiring SEQUEST and procuring updates. This also includes any lab who originally acquired SEQUEST through the Yates Lab at the University of Washington.

When referencing SEQUEST, the preferred spelling should be to have all the letters capitalized (i.e. SEQUEST) or to have only the first letter capitalized (i.e. Sequest). Please don't refer to it as SeQuest or SeaQuest!

SEQUEST uses algorithms described in U.S. patents 6,017,693 and 5,538,897.
