PeptideAtlas, SRMAtlas and PASSEL are web-accessible resources to support discovery and targeted proteomics research. PeptideAtlas is a multi-species compendium of shotgun proteomic data provided by the scientific community, SRMAtlas is a resource of high-quality, complete proteome SRM assays generated in a consistent manner for the targeted identification and quantification of proteins, and PASSEL is a repository that compiles and represents selected reaction monitoring data, all in an easy to use interface. The databases are generated from native mass spectrometry data files that are analyzed in a standardized manner including statistical validation of the results. Each resource offers search functionalities and can be queried by user defined constraints; the query results are provided in tables or are graphically displayed. PeptideAtlas, SRMAtlas and PASSEL are publicly available freely via the website http://www.peptideatlas.org. In this protocol, we describe the use of these resources, we highlight how to submit, search, collate and download data.
