Reproducibility has become a major concern in biomedical research. In proteomics, bioinformatic workflows can quickly consist of multiple software tools each with its own set of parameters. Their usage involves the definition of often hundreds of parameters as well as data operations to ensure tool interoperability. Hence, a manuscript's methods section is often insufficient to completely describe and reproduce a data analysis workflow. Here we present IsoProt: A complete and reproducible bioinformatic workflow deployed on a portable container environment to analyze data from isobarically labeled, quantitative proteomics experiments. The workflow uses only open source tools and provides a user-friendly and interactive browser interface to configure and execute the different operations. Once the workflow is executed, the results including the R code to perform statistical analyses can be downloaded as an HTML document providing a complete record of the performed analyses. IsoProt therefore represents a reproducible bioinformatics workflow that will yield identical results on any computer platform.
