Comet is an open source tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)  sequence database search engine. It identifies peptides by  searching MS/MS spectra against sequences present in protein  sequence databases.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

The **comet-ms** source package is  used to create the **comet-ms** binary  program.
