fragment [frag] v.2.0.0

Long form: fragment() Short form: frag()

The fragment() or frag() function can be used within a proteinAbundance() term to specify a protein fragment, e.g., a product of proteolytic cleavage. Protein fragment expressions take the general form:

p(ns:v, frag(, ))

where (required) is an amino acid range, and (optional) is any additional distinguishing information like fragment size or name.

For the examples, HGNC:YFG is ‘your favorite gene’. For the first four examples, only the argument is used. The last examples include use of the optional .
