[i] Matching is done by three methods: Mutation-tolerant branch-and-bound algorithm; modification-tolerant branch-and-bound algorithm; and modification-tolerant spectral alignment algorithm. The table shows the ranks of the correct hits in the ranked list of top-scoring hits (rank 1 corresponds to correct peptide identification).
