Mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomics is widely used for biomarker discovery. However, often, most biomarker candidates from discovery are discarded during the validation processes. Such discrepancies between biomarker discovery and validation are caused by several factors, mainly due to the differences in analytical methodology and experimental conditions.

Peptide fragmentation spectra contain critical information for the identification of peptides by mass spectrometry. In this study, we developed an algorithm that more accurately predicts the high-intensity peaks among the peptide spectra. The training data are composed of 180,833 peptides from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Proteomics Identification database, which were fragmented by either quadrupole time-of-flight or triple-quadrupole collision-induced dissociation methods.

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), have a well-orchestrated program for differentiation and self-renewal. However, the structural features of unique proteostatic-maintaining mechanisms in hPSCs and their features, distinct from those of differentiated cells, in response to cellular stress remain unclear. We evaluated and compared the morphological features and stress response of hPSCs and fibroblasts.

Interactions between microalgae and bacteria are often obligatory for harmful algal blooms (HABs). Here, we investigated the specific bacterial communities associated with Alexandrium tamarense and Cochlodinium polykrikoides, which cause ecological and economic damage during their blooms. To this end, the bacterial metagenome was selectively isolated from the two dinoflagellates and subsequently used for 16S rRNA analysis via the Nanopore MinION and Illumina sequencing platforms.

Temperature is a critical environmental factor that affects microalgal growth. However, microalgal coping mechanisms for temperature variations are unclear. Here, we determined changes in transcriptome, total carbohydrate, total fatty acid methyl ester, and fatty acid composition of Tetraselmis sp.

Sequence-function relationship in a protein is commonly determined by the three-dimensional protein structure followed by various biochemical experiments. However, with the explosive increase in the number of genome sequences, facilitated by recent advances in sequencing technology, the gap between protein sequences available and three-dimensional structures is rapidly widening. A recently developed method termed deep mutational scanning explores the functional phenotype of thousands of mutants via massive sequencing.

Dunaliella tertiolecta LB 999 is an oleaginous microalgae species that produces large quantities of lipid and starch during nitrogen starvation; however, nitrogen starvation also limits the cell growth. In order to understand the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon, the transcriptome and peptidome of D. tertiolecta LB 999 grown under different nitrogen and light conditions were analyzed.

Flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-based fluorescent proteins are versatile reporters that can monitor various cellular processes in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. However, the understanding of the role of individual amino acid residues on the protein function has been limited and has restricted the development of better functional variants. Here we examine the functional amino acid residues of Escherichia coli flavin mononucleotide binding fluorescent protein (EcFbFP) using the application of high-throughput sequencing of functional variants, termed deep mutational scanning.
