P-Mart: Interactive Analysis of Ion Abundance Global Proteomics Data.

The use of mass-spectrometry-based techniques for global protein profiling of biomedical or environmental experiments has become a major focus in research centered on biomarker discovery; however, one of the most important issues recently highlighted in the new era of omics data generation is the ability to perform analyses in a robust and reproducible manner. This has been hypothesized to be one of the issues hindering the ability of clinical proteomics to successfully identify clinical diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of disease.

P-MartCancer-Interactive Online Software to Enable Analysis of Shotgun Cancer Proteomic Datasets.

P-MartCancer is an interactive web-based software environment that enables statistical analyses of peptide or protein data, quantitated from mass spectrometry-based global proteomics experiments, without requiring in-depth knowledge of statistical programming. P-MartCancer offers a series of statistical modules associated with quality assessment, peptide and protein statistics, protein quantification, and exploratory data analyses driven by the user via customized workflows and interactive visualization. Currently, P-MartCancer offers access and the capability to analyze multiple cancer proteomic datasets generated through the Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium at the peptide, gene, and protein levels.

VESPA: software to facilitate genomic annotation of prokaryotic organisms through integration of proteomic and transcriptomic data.

Background: The procedural aspects of genome sequencing and assembly have become relatively inexpensive, yet the full, accurate structural annotation of these genomes remains a challenge. Next-generation sequencing transcriptomics (RNA-Seq), global microarrays, and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)-based proteomics have demonstrated immense value to genome curators as individual sources of information, however, integrating these data types to validate and improve structural annotation remains a major challenge. Current visual and statistical analytic tools are focused on a single data type, or existing software tools are retrofitted to analyze new data forms.
