  • Title: Proteotyping of microbial communities by optimization of tandem mass spectrometry data interpretation.
    Author: Hugo A, Baxter DJ, Cannon WR, Kalyanaraman A, Kulkarni G, Callister SJ.
    Journal: Pac Symp Biocomput; 2012; ():225-34. PubMed ID: 22174278.
    Abstract:
    We report the development of a novel high performance computing method for the identification of proteins from unknown (environmental) samples. The method uses computational optimization to provide an effective way to control the false discovery rate for environmental samples and complements de novo peptide sequencing. Furthermore, the method provides information based on the expressed protein in a microbial community, and thus complements DNA-based identification methods. Testing on blind samples demonstrates that the method provides 79-95% overlap with analogous results from searches involving only the correct genomes. We provide scaling and performance evaluations for the software that demonstrate the ability to carry out large-scale optimizations on 1258 genomes containing 4.2M proteins.
