It was a pleasure to meet many of you at ASMS 2026 in San Diego, CA this June. We presented three posters featuring Mascot DIA using real data. PDF copies of the posters: www.matrixscience.com/asms_2026.html #proteomics #massspec

Come and collect freebies from booth #616 while stocks last. #ASMS2026

Let's chat about spectrum-centric DIA with probabilistic scoring today at #ASMS2026. WP 449: Mascot DIA Introduces probabilistic scoring. WP 464: Mascot DIA enables direct comparison of DDA and DIA. WP 622: Overcoming Peptide-Centric DIA Limitations: Discovering Unsuspected Modifications.

After tonight's opening plenary at #asms2026, drop by booth #616 and say hi to Mascot developers. Also, we're presenting three posters on Wednesday, WP 449, WP 464 and WP 622.

Mascot Newsletter, May 2026: We're presenting three DIA posters at ASMS 2026. Oleuropein-based olive leaf extract with cardiovascular exercise. Upcoming conferences: BSPR 2026 and IMSC 2026. www.matrixscience.com/nl/202605/ne... #proteomics #massspec

Matrix Science will be attending BSPR2026 in Cambridge, UK, on 13-15 July. Come chat with us about the latest developments with Mascot. Abstract and early bird registration deadline is 15 May, so it's best to book your place soon! #proteomics #massspec #BSPR2026

Early bird registration is still open! Don't forget to register at: www.bspr.org/annual-meeti...

You can now use large language model (LLM) coding assistants to interact with Mascot Server. This includes anything that can be programmed with the LLM, from simple automation tasks to complex mining and merging of results. www.matrixscience.com/blog/automat... #proteomics #MassSpec

Mascot Newsletter, April 2026: Mycobacteria spectral libraries. Orthogonal translation systems for lysine aminoacylation. Matrix Science at ASMS 2026. www.matrixscience.com/nl/202604/ne... #proteomics #massspec

Mascot Newsletter, March 2026: Search BLIB spectral libraries with Mascot. PET hydrolase expressed in fruit flies. UK office has moved. www.matrixscience.com/nl/202603/ne... #proteomics #massspec

matrixscience.com is being overwhelmed by millions of HTTP requests from distributed botnets, essentially a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. We are forced to mitigate it by restrict access to certain pages of dynamic content. www.matrixscience.com/whats_new/mi... #proteomics #massspec

Thunder-DDA-PASEF is an acquisition strategy for capturing more human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I peptide ligands on Bruker timsTOF instruments. This month's blog shows how you can process Thunder-DDA-PASEF data with Mascot Distiller. www.matrixscience.com/blog/process... #proteomics #massspec

Using the blib2msp converter, Mascot Server can now search DDA spectral libraries in BLIB format. Here's an example for identifying mycobacteria. www.matrixscience.com/blog/identif... #proteomics #massspec

The UK office of Matrix Science Ltd has moved one block up the road. New address: 83 Baker Street, London W1U 6AG, UK. There is no other change to bank details or email addresses. www.matrixscience.com/whats_new/ch...

Mascot Newsletter, February 2026: Strange software errors? Check your disk space. Proteomic signatures in human fingertip regeneration. Customise columns in the search log. www.matrixscience.com/nl/202602/ne... #proteomics #massspec

Mascot Server can create and search NIST MSP formatted spectral libraries but not BLIB -- until now! We have developed an MSP to BLIB to MSP converter that allows Mascot Server to use BLIB libraries. www.matrixscience.com/blog/convert... #proteomics #massspec

Mascot Newsletter, January 2026: Ion intensity: peak area vs signal to noise? Duplexing deuterated water-labeled samples for protein turnover rate estimation. Role-based access with Mascot Security is useful in a variety of cases. www.matrixscience.com/nl/202601/ne... #proteomics #massspec

Proteomics software is prone to filling up the disk with data and temp files, which can cause weird issues. This blog article lists the most common errors in Mascot products and how to free up disk space. www.matrixscience.com/blog/strange... #proteomics #massspec

Mascot Newsletter, December 2025: NCBI nr FASTA replacement. Immunoregulation during pregnancy. Mascot Server as system service on Linux. www.matrixscience.com/nl/202512/ne... #proteomics #massspec

When raw data is processed into peak lists, there is a choice: how should peak intensity be calculated? Mascot Distiller defaults to peak area. The alternative, signal-to-noise (S/N), can be useful with detecting diagnostic ions. #proteomics #massspec www.matrixscience.com/blog/peak-li...

Mascot Newsletter, November 2025: Top-3 quant with DDA-PASEF. ZooMS peptide markers for South American Xenarthrans. Migrating from Windows 10 to Linux could extend the lifetime of your hardware. www.matrixscience.com/nl/202511/ne... #proteomics #massspec

The NCBI nr FASTA file of protein sequences is no longer updated. We've summarised instructions for creating it from the BLAST database -- or you may be better off using TrEMBL. www.matrixscience.com/blog/replace... #proteomics #massspec

The DDoS attack on matrixscience.com appears to be over. Functionality has been resumed and we will continue monitoring the system.

The free Mascot service at matrixscience.com is currently being hammered by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. The incident started around 11:00 GMT. We have mitigated the attack, which means some Mascot functionality is unavailable for now.

Mascot Newsletter, October 2025: Spectrum-centric DIA scoring. Molecular mechanisms of SBK2 kinase on the heart. Windows update issue with IIS (resolved). www.matrixscience.com/nl/202510/ne... #proteomics #massspec

Mascot Daemon can export protein level quant intensities for replicate LFQ, SILAC and iTRAQ/TMT. The latest version can also export intensity values calculated using the "Top-3" method, illustrated here with DDA-PASEF data. www.matrixscience.com/blog/top-3-q... #proteomics #massspec

We are pleased to announce a new distributor for Matrix Science products! Customers in India can now buy Mascot Server through BioInnovations, who provide products and services for life sciences and analytical and clinical labs. #proteomics #massspec www.matrixscience.com/whats_new/ne...
