Supplementary Figure 1 moFF workflow overview
The optional match-between-runs module takes as input a list of features of interest for a given run, and then matches the corresponding features in other runs. Upon matching, all peptides (either identified directly, or indirectly by matching between runs) are processed by the Apex intensity module to extract feature intensity and associated quality measures. The results are then written to tab-delimited output files
Supplementary Figure 2 Overview of the apex intensity module
Around the RT of the input feature, a time window is constructed which results in a local XIC. The peak apex is then located in this local XIC. The log_L_R metric measures the skewness of the peak around the RT of the obtained apex point. The SNR metric provides the ratio of peak height to noise, where the noise value is set as the lowest intensity value in the local XIC
Supplementary Figure 3 Boxplots of the shape measure (log_L_R), SNR, and RT difference
Boxplots of shape measure (log_L_R), SNR, and RT difference between input peak RT and peak apex RT as identified by moFF, across all CPTAC study 6 runs. The majority of peaks across these 45 runs display a symmetrical shape (log_L_R close to 0) and consistently high SNRs. Replicates within each of the labs (designated by a set of three consecutive numbers: 1, 2 and 3 for lab 1; 4, 5 and 6 for lab 2; 7, 8 and 9 for lab 3) show quite consistent median RT difference, while more variation can be seen between labs. The samples (designated by capital letter A, B, C, D, E) have less of an effect, with different samples showing consistent median RT differences for a given lab.
Supplementary Figure 4 Pearson's Correlation of moFF and MaxQuant intensities and quality metrics on the human dataset
Pearson's Correlation of moFF and MaxQuant intensities, boxplots of shape measure (log_L_R), SNR, and RT difference between input peak RT and peak apex RT as identified by moFF in the 20 fractions of the human sample. On this data set too, moFF and MaxQuant show extremely high Pearson's correlation coefficients (between 0.93 and 0.97). The peak shapes show a more left skewed shape for these 20 fractions. The SNR values also show higher median values than observed for the CPTAC samples. Similar to the CPTAC study 6 data, moFF finds the apex peak within 0.10 minutes of the expected RT on average, which is only a third of the window size allowed to moFF
Supplementary Figure 5 Scatter plots of the moFF and MaxQuant intensities for all the 15 runs related to CPTAC lab 1
The color from blue to red shows the distance of each point to the linear regression model that fits the data. Red points are the extreme outliers considered in Supplementary Table 1.
Supplementary Figure 6 Scatter plots of the moFF and MaxQuant intensities for all the 15 runs related to CPTAC lab 2
The color from blue to red shows the distance of each point to the linear regression model that fits the data. Red points are the extreme outliers considered in Supplementary Table 1.
Supplementary Figure 7 Scatter plots of the moFF and MaxQuant intensities for all the 15 runs related to CPTAC lab 3
The color from blue to red shows the distance of each point to the linear regression model that fits the data. Red points are the extreme outliers considered in Supplementary Table 1.
Supplementary Figure 8 Evaluation of three match-between-runs options in terms of standard deviations of log2-transformed MS1 intensities of shared peptides in moFF and MaxQuant.
Following match-between-runs are considered: a) outlier filtered and unweighted b) no outlier filtering and unweighted and c) no outlier filtering and weighted. In each plot (right and left part) we also show the effect of the filtering peaks with a SNR at or below the 5th percentile of all the MS2 SNR values. For each lab, peptides were subdivided in three groups: those peptides where match-betweenruns was employed (mbr), those peptides whose features were solely matched by MS2 identifications (ms2), and the union of all peptides (all). The use of outlier filtering and weighting scheme (see Supplementary Methods) does not have an effect on the MS1 intensities of the moFF matched peptides.
Supplementary Figure 9 The RT difference between the predicted RT by moFF and the MaxQuant RT for the matched peptides in case of 15 replicates for each CPTAC lab
For each lab we evaluated four different options (outlier filtering on/off, and weighted/unweighted terms) that are provided in the matchbetween-runs module of moFF: i) outlier filter and weighted term; ii) outlier filtering and unweighted term; iii) no outlier filtering and weighted term; and iv) without outlier filtering and unweighted term. We notice that filtering the outliers in the training phase of the models show a more visible reduction of the RT error for CPTAC lab 1. For all four options, the median RT difference is low (below 0.2 minute).

The left and right plots refer to the unfiltered and filtered matched features found by moFF, respectively (filtering was applied using the same criteria used for the 15 replicates analysis used in Supplementary Figure 2).
