MassDash: A Web-Based Dashboard for Data-Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry Visualization.

With the increased usage and diversity of methods and instruments being applied to analyze Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) data, visualization is becoming increasingly important to validate automated software results. Here we present MassDash, a cross-platform DIA mass spectrometry visualization and validation software for comparing features and results across popular tools. MassDash provides a web-based interface and Python package for interactive feature visualizations and summary report plots across multiple automated DIA feature detection tools, including OpenSwath, DIA-NN, and dreamDIA.

A conserved signaling network monitors delivery of sphingolipids to the plasma membrane in budding yeast.

In budding yeast, cell cycle progression and ribosome biogenesis are dependent on plasma membrane growth, which ensures that events of cell growth are coordinated with each other and with the cell cycle. However, the signals that link the cell cycle and ribosome biogenesis to membrane growth are poorly understood. Here we used proteome-wide mass spectrometry to systematically discover signals associated with membrane growth.

Exploring genetic suppression interactions on a global scale.

Genetic suppression occurs when the phenotypic defects caused by a mutation in a particular gene are rescued by a mutation in a second gene. To explore the principles of genetic suppression, we examined both literature-curated and unbiased experimental data, involving systematic genetic mapping and whole-genome sequencing, to generate a large-scale suppression network among yeast genes. Most suppression pairs identified novel relationships among functionally related genes, providing new insights into the functional wiring diagram of the cell.
