Rapid assay development for low input targeted proteomics using a versatile linear ion trap - Nature Communications Advances in proteomics enable studying limited cell populations, typically requiring high mass accuracy instruments. Here, the authors present a workflow using a unit mass resolution linear ion trap to develop targeted assays from global measurements with free software.

Rapid assay development for low-input targeted proteomics using a linear ion trap β€” a promising step toward accessible, high-sensitivity proteomics workflows.

PSManalyst: A Dashboard for Visual Quality Control of FragPipe Results FragPipe is recognized as one of the fastest computational platforms in proteomics, making it a practical solution for the rapid quality control of high-throughput sample analyses. Starting with version 23.0, FragPipe introduced the β€œGenerate Summary Report” feature, offering .pdf reports with essential quality control metrics to address the challenge of intuitively assessing large-scale proteomics data. While traditional spreadsheet formats (e.g., tsv files) are accessible, the complexity of the data often limits user-friendly interpretation. To further enhance accessibility, PSManalyst, a Shiny-based R application, was developed to process FragPipe output files (psm.tsv, protein.tsv, and combined_protein.tsv) and provide interactive, code-free data visualization. Users can filter peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) by quality scores, visualize protease cleavage fingerprints as heatmaps and SeqLogos, and access a range of quality control metrics and representations such as peptide length distributions, ion densities, mass errors, and wordclouds for overrepresented peptides. The tool facilitates seamless switching between PSM and protein data visualization, offering insights into protein abundance discrepancies, samplewise similarity metrics, protein coverage, and contaminants evaluation. PSManalyst leverages several R libraries (lsa, vegan, ggfortify, ggseqlogo, wordcloud2, tidyverse, ggpointdensity, and plotly) and runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, requiring only a local R setup and an IDE. The app is available at (https://github.com/41ison/PSManalyst.

It's now properly published. If you want to easily check important characteristics of your data before diving into complicated statistics, check out PSManalyst.

If you asked me 5 years ago if it would be possible to use a de novo tool on DIA data, I would have thought it would only exist in science fiction. Love being proved wrong. Great work from Justin Sanders. #proteomics #massspectrometry

Mass calibration algorithm in DIA-NN 2.0 can successfully correct even for the below πŸ™„πŸ˜Š. Apparently this kind of things can happen to some instruments.

If you spot sth odd in your data - please always let us know, sometimes troubleshooting is really quick and interesting things are discovered.
