The Biology and Disease-driven Human Proteome Project (B/D-HPP) is aimed at supporting and enhancing the broad use of state-of-the-art proteomic methods to characterize and quantify proteins for in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms of biological processes and human disease. Based on a foundation of the pre-existing HUPO initiatives begun in 2002, the B/D-HPP is designed to provide standardized methods and resources for mass spectrometry and specific protein affinity reagents and facilitate accessibility of these resources to the broader life sciences research and clinical communities. Currently there are 22 B/D-HPP initiatives and 3 closely related HPP resource pillars. The B/D-HPP groups are working to define sets of protein targets that are highly relevant to each particular field to deliver relevant assays for the measurement of these selected targets and to disseminate and make publicly accessible the information and tools generated. Major developments are the 2016 publications of the Human SRM Atlas and of "popular protein sets" for six organ systems. Here we present the current activities and plans of the BD-HPP initiatives as highlighted in numerous B/D-HPP workshops at the 14th annual HUPO 2015 World Congress of Proteomics in Vancouver, Canada.

Cancer is a complex disease driven by genomic alterations, and tumor sequencing is becoming a mainstay of clinical care for cancer patients. The emergence of multi-institution sequencing data presents a powerful resource for learning real-world evidence to enhance precision oncology. GENIE BPC, led by American Association for Cancer Research, establishes a unique database linking genomic data with clinical information for patients treated at multiple cancer centers.

Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease caused by inflammation and dysfunction in blood vessel cells, leading to changes in the lungs' blood vessels.
- The study highlights the role of the protein IFI16 in promoting inflammation in these endothelial cells, especially when triggered by the inflammatory molecule IL-1b.
- Additionally, the research suggests that changes in m6A modification of IFI16 may serve as a potential biomarker for identifying PAH in patients, as increased m6A levels were found in their blood cells compared to healthy controls.
Apparent differential phenotypic responses by kelp forest grazers to disease-driven removal of sea star predators.

The potential for aquatic gastropods to display phenotypic plasticity in response to predator cues is well documented. However, long-term phenotypic responses to predator exposure are difficult to evaluate at large scales in the field. Thus, the extent to which comparatively dilute predator cues experienced by natural snail populations influence morphometric development and whether energetic costs associated with defensive morphology have allometric impacts on other life-history characteristics is unclear.

Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacterium that accounts for more human mortality than any other. Evidence is accumulating for the view that tuberculosis is an interferonopathy - a disease driven by type I interferons. However, how type I interferons exacerbate tuberculosis remains poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- The Human Proteome Project (HPP) aims to identify every protein-coding gene’s isoform and integrate proteomics into studies of human health and disease.
- Major updates include the retirement of neXtProt as the knowledge base, with UniProtKB now serving as the reference proteome, and GENCODE providing the target protein list.
- Recent data shows that 93% of protein-coding genes have been expressed, leaving 1,273 non-expressed proteins, along with the introduction of a new scoring system for functional annotation of proteins.
