Such a process is a prerequisite for resonance assignment, nuclear overhauser enhancement (NOE) distance restraint assignment, and structure calculation tasks. Manual or semi-automatic peak picking, which is currently the prominent way used in NMR labs, is tedious, time consuming and costly.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We introduce new ideas, including noise-level estimation, component forming and sub-division, singular value decomposition (SVD)-based peak picking and peak pruning and refinement. PICKY is developed as an automated peak picking method. Different from the previous research on peak picking, we provide a systematic study of the proposed method. PICKY is tested on 32 real 2D and 3D spectra of eight target proteins, and achieves an average of 88% recall and 74% precision. PICKY is efficient. It takes PICKY on average 15.7 s to process an NMR spectrum. More important than these numbers, PICKY actually works in practice. We feed peak lists generated by PICKY to IPASS for resonance assignment, feed IPASS assignment to SPARTA for fragments generation, and feed SPARTA fragments to FALCON for structure calculation. This results in high-resolution structures of several proteins, for example, TM1112, at 1.25 \u00c5.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: PICKY is available upon request. The peak lists of PICKY can be easily loaded by SPARKY to enable a better interactive strategy for rapid peak picking.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0mli@uwaterloo.ca<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp225","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,28]],"date-time":"2009-05-28T15:48:54Z","timestamp":1243525734000},"page":"i268-i275","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["PICKY: a novel SVD-based NMR spectra peak picking method"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Babak","family":"Alipanahi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 David R.
