This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research described in this dissertation presents novel computational algorithms and strategies for (1) improving the assignment of molecular identities to analytes profiled by high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), (2) performing relative quantitation of large sets of metabolites across expansive sets of mass spectrometry data files, (3) disseminating processed mass spectrometry data and post hoc statistical results in web-based platforms, and (4) monitoring mass spectrometer performance via a web-based data processing and analysis tool. An overview of the aforementioned computational strategies and developed software tools is presented in Chapter 1. A novel algorithm for leveraging accurate mass--afforded by high-resolution GC/MS systems--to discriminate between putative identifications assigned to profiled small molecules is described in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3, an algorithm and accompanying software suite designed to enable untargeted quantitation of small molecules across expansive sets of raw GC/MS data files is described. In Chapter 4, these algorithms are employed as part of a larger study wherein 174 single gene deletion strains of yeast were comprehensively profiled at the proteomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic levels. These multi-omic data were then integrated through various analysis planes in order to define functions of uncharacterized mitochondrial proteins. Chapter 5 details numerous web-based data visualization utilities developed for various projects designed to enable researchers to more rapidly interrogate MS data sets at depth. In Chapter 6, the development of a web-based mass spectrometry data deposition, processing, and visualization tool for automated quality control analysis is described.

This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of computational and statistical design and analysis of mass spectrometry-based proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics data. This contributed volume provides an introduction to the special aspects of statistical design and analysis with mass spectrometry data for the new omic sciences. The text discusses common aspects of design and analysis between and across all (or most) forms of mass spectrometry, while also providing special examples of application with the most common forms of mass spectrometry. Also covered are applications of computational mass spectrometry not only in clinical study but also in the interpretation of omics data in plant biology studies. Omics research fields are expected to revolutionize biomolecular research by the ability to simultaneously profile many compounds within either patient blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples. Mass spectrometry is one of the key analytical techniques used in these new omic sciences. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, time-of-flight data, and Fourier transform mass spectrometry are but a selection of the measurement platforms available to the modern analyst. Thus in practical proteomics or metabolomics, researchers will not only be confronted with new high dimensional data types—as opposed to the familiar data structures in more classical genomics—but also with great variation between distinct types of mass spectral measurements derived from different platforms, which may complicate analyses, comparison, and interpretation of results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies collectively called omics enable simultaneous measurement of an enormous number of biomolecules; for example, genomics investigates thousands of DNA sequences, and proteomics examines large numbers of proteins. Scientists are using these technologies to develop innovative tests to detect disease and to predict a patient's likelihood of responding to specific drugs. Following a recent case involving premature use of omics-based tests in cancer clinical trials at Duke University, the NCI requested that the IOM establish a committee to recommend ways to strengthen omics-based test development and evaluation. This report identifies best practices to enhance development, evaluation, and translation of omics-based tests while simultaneously reinforcing steps to ensure that these tests are appropriately assessed for scientific validity before they are used to guide patient treatment in clinical trials.
Download or read book High Performance Algorithms for Mass Spectrometry Based Omics written by Fahad Saeed and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, processing of high-throughput Mass Spectrometry (MS) data is accomplished using serial algorithms. Developing new methods to process MS data is an active area of research but there is no single strategy that focuses on scalability of MS based methods. Mass spectrometry is a diverse and versatile technology for high-throughput functional characterization of proteins, small molecules and metabolites in complex biological mixtures. In the recent years the technology has rapidly evolved and is now capable of generating increasingly large (multiple tera-bytes per experiment) and complex (multiple species/microbiome/high-dimensional) data sets. This rapid advance in MS instrumentation must be matched by equally fast and rapid evolution of scalable methods developed for analysis of these complex data sets. Ideally, the new methods should leverage the rich heterogeneous computational resources available in a ubiquitous fashion in the form of multicore, manycore, CPU-GPU, CPU-FPGA, and IntelPhi architectures. The absence of these high-performance computing algorithms now hinders scientific advancements for mass spectrometry research. In this book we illustrate the need for high-performance computing algorithms for MS based proteomics, and proteogenomics and showcase our progress in developing these high-performance algorithms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of proteomics has developed rapidly over the past decade nurturing the need for a detailed introduction to the various informatics topics that underpin the main liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) protocols used for protein identification and quantitation. Proteins are a key component of any biological system, and monitoring proteins using LC-MS/MS proteomics is becoming commonplace in a wide range of biological research areas. However, many researchers treat proteomics software tools as a black box, drawing conclusions from the output of such tools without considering the nuances and limitations of the algorithms on which such software is based. This book seeks to address this situation by bringing together world experts to provide clear explanations of the key algorithms, workflows and analysis frameworks, so that users of proteomics data can be confident that they are using appropriate tools in suitable ways.
Download or read book Computational Methods for Small Molecule Identification written by Kai Dührkop and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identification of small molecules remains a central question in analytical chemistry, in particular for natural product research, metabolomics, environmental research, and biomarker discovery. Mass spectrometry is the predominant technique for high-throughput analysis of small molecules. But it reveals only information about the mass of molecules and, by using tandem mass spectrometry, about the mass of molecular fragments. Automated interpretation of mass spectra is often limited to searching in spectral libraries, such that we can only dereplicate molecules for which we have already recorded reference mass spectra. In this thesis we present methods for answering two central questions: What is the molecular formula of the measured ion and what is its molecular structure? SIRIUS is a combinatorial optimization method for annotating a spectrum and identifying the ion's molecular formula by computing hypothetical fragmentation trees. We present a new scoring for computing fragmentation trees, transforming the combinatorial optimization into a maximum a posteriori estimator. This allows us to learn parameters and hyperparameters of the scoring directly from data. We demonstrate that the statistical model, which was fitted on a small dataset, generalises well across many different datasets and mass spectrometry instruments. In addition to tandem mass spectra, isotope pattern can be used for identifying the molecular formula of the precursor ion. We present a novel scoring for comparing isotope patterns based on maximum likelihood. We describe how to integrate the isotope pattern analysis into the fragmentation tree optimisation problem to analyse data were fragment peaks and isotope peaks occur within the same spectrum. We demonstrate that the new scorings significantly improves on the task of molecular formula assignment. We evaluate SIRIUS on several datasets and show that it outperforms all other methods for molecular formula annotation by a large margin. We also present CSI:FingerID, a method for predicting a molecular fingerprint from a tandem mass spectrum using kernel support vector machines. The predicted fingerprint can be searched in a structure database to identify the molecular structure. CSI:FingerID is based on FingerID, that uses probability product kernels on mass spectra for this task. We describe several novel kernels for comparing fragmentation trees instead of spectra. These kernels are combined using multiple kernel learning. We present a new scoring based on posterior probabilities and extend the method to use additional molecular fingerprints. We demonstrate on several datasets that CSI:FingerID identifies more molecules than its predecessor FingerID and outperforms all other methods for this task. We analyse how each of the methodological improvements of CSI:FingerID contributes to its identification performance and make suggestions for future improvements of the method. Both methods, SIRIUS and CSI:FingerID, are available as commandline tool and as user interface. The molecular fingerprint prediction is implemented as web service and receives over one million requests per month.

Download or read book Modern Proteomics Sample Preparation Analysis and Practical Applications written by Hamid Mirzaei and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume serves as a proteomics reference manual, describing experimental design and execution. The book also shows a large number of examples as to what can be achieved using proteomics techniques. As a relatively young area of scientific research, the breadth and depth of the current state of the art in proteomics might not be obvious to all potential users. There are various books and review articles that cover certain aspects of proteomics but they often lack technical details. Subject specific literature also lacks the broad overviews that are needed to design an experiment in which all steps are compatible and coherent. The objective of this book was to create a proteomics manual to provide scientists who are not experts in the field with an overview of: 1. The types of samples can be analyzed by mass spectrometry for proteomics analysis. 2. Ways to convert biological or ecological samples to analytes ready for mass spectral analysis. 3. Ways to reduce the complexity of the proteome to achieve better coverage of the constituent proteins. 4. How various mass spectrometers work and different ways they can be used for proteomics analysis 5. The various platforms that are available for proteomics data analysis 6. The various applications of proteomics technologies in biological and medical sciences This book should appeal to anyone with an interest in proteomics technologies, proteomics related bioinformatics and proteomics data generation and interpretation. With the broad setup and chapters written by experts in the field, there is information that is valuable for students as well as for researchers who are looking for a hands on introduction into the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities of proteomics.

Download or read book Novel Computational Methods for Mass Spectrometry Based Protein Identification written by Rachana Jain and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass spectrometry (MS) is used routinely to identify proteins in biological samples. Peptide Mass Fingerprinting (PMF) uses peptide masses and a pre-specified search database to identify proteins. It is often used as a complementary method along with Peptide Fragment Fingerprinting (PFF) or de-novo sequencing for increasing confidence and coverage of protein identification during mass spectrometric analysis. At the core of a PMF database search algorithm lies a similarity measure or quality statistics that is used to gauge the level to which an experimentally obtained peaklist agrees with a list of theoretically observable mass-to-charge ratios for a protein in a database. In this dissertation, we use publicly available gold standard data sets to show that the selection of search criteria such as mass tolerance and missed cleavages significantly affects the identification results. We propose, implement and evaluate a statistical (Kolmogorov-Smirnov-based) test which is computed for a large mass error threshold thus avoiding the choice of appropriate mass tolerance by the user. We use the mass tolerance identified by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for computing other quality measures. The results from our careful and extensive benchmarks suggest that the new method of computing the quality statistics without requiring the end-user to select a mass tolerance is competitive. We investigate the similarity measures in terms of their information content and conclude that the similarity measures are complementary and can be combined into a scoring function to possibly improve the over all accuracy of PMF based identification methods. We describe a new database search tool, PRIMAL, for protein identification using PMF. The novelty behind PRIMAL is two-fold. First, we comprehensively analyze methods for measuring the degree of similarity between experimental and theoretical peaklists. Second, we employ machine learning as a means of combining the individual similarity measures into a scoring function. Finally, we systematically test the efficacy of PRIMAL in identifying proteins using highly curated and publicly available data. Our results suggest that PRIMAL is competitive if not better than some of the tools extensively used by the mass spectrometry community. A web server with an implementation of the scoring function is available at http://bmi.cchmc.org/primal. We also note that the methodology is directly extensible to MS/MS based protein identification problem. We detail how to extend our approaches to the more complex MS/MS data.

Download or read book Expanding the Toolbox of Tandem Mass Spectrometry with Algorithms to Identify Mass Spectra from More Than One Peptide written by Jian Wang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In high-throughput proteomics the development of computational methods and novel experimental strategies often rely on each other. In several areas, mass spectrometry methods for data acquisition are ahead of computational methods to interpret the resulting tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra. While there are numerous situations where two or more peptides are co-fragmented in the same MS/MS spectrum, nearly all mainstream computational approaches still make the ubiquitous assumption that each MS/MS spectrum comes from only one peptide. In this thesis we addressed problems in three emerging areas where computational tools that relax the above assumption are crucial for the success application of these approaches on a large-scale. In the first chapter we describe algorithms for the identification of mixture spectra that are from more than one co-eluting peptide precursors. The ability to interpret mixture spectra not only improves peptide identification in traditional data-dependent-acquisition (DDA) workflows but is also crucial for the success application of emerging data-independent-acquisition (DIA) techniques that have the potential to greatly improve the throughput of peptide identification. In chapter two, we address the problem of identification of peptides with complex post-translational modification (PTM). Detection of PTMs is important to understand the functional dynamics of proteins. Complex PTMs resulted from the conjugation of another macromolecule onto the substrate protein. The resultant modified peptides not only generate spectrum that contains a mixture of fragment ions from both the PTM and the substrate peptide but they also display substantially different fragmentation patterns as compared to conventional, unmodified peptides. We describe a hybrid experimental and computational approach to build search tools that capture the specific fragmentation patterns of modified peptides. Finally in chapter three we address the problem of identification of linked peptides. Linked peptides are two peptides that are covalently linked together. The generation and identification of linked peptides has recently been demonstrated to be a versatile tool to study protein-protein interactions and protein structures, however the identification of linked peptides face many challenges. We integrate lessons learned in the previous chapters to build an efficient and sensitive tool to identify linked peptides from MS/MS spectra.
