MS Ana is a scoring algorithm for the identification of peptides in tandem mass spectrometry data using a library of previously identified spectra. Furthermore, MS Ana can create decoy spectral libraries for validation using different decoy generation methods. MS Ana is specially designed to work with high accuracy tandem mass spectra and modern spectral libraries build from high accuracy tandem mass spectra. By using a suitable library you can achieve higher sensitivity and increased processing speed compared to traditional database search.
