title: Protein Inference.
abstract: Protein inference is one of the most important steps in protein identification, which transforms peptides identified from tandem mass spectra into a list of proteins. In this chapter, we provide a brief introduction on this problem and present a short summary on the existing protein inference methods in the literature.
