Happy to have this one finally out. Since the first generation was very popular in the proteomics community, we decided to work on a second generation including the latest innovations in LC-MS. Very grateful to all collaborators and a special shoutout to @robbedevr.bsky.social from @compomics.com

LFQ Benchmark Dataset - Generation Beta: Assessing Modern Proteomics Instruments and Acquisition Workflows with High-Throughput LC Gradients www.biorxiv.org/cont... --- #proteomics #prot-preprint

What an amazing team, this #proteobench people. It was very inspiring to join, support and push this Proteobench project forward representing Core4life during the Proteobench hackaton this week. Thank you to Institut Pasteur, for hosting the joint adventure!

What excites me most is that it introduces the first ML-based solution for peptide multiconformers. But that’s not all! We also demonstrate a substantial performance boost for uniconforming peptides. Our findings are clear: multiconformer peptides cannot be overlooked when predicting CCS!

Seems reasonable to dedicate my first Bluesky post to the following: Our latest research, TIMS²Rescore, is now published in Journal of Proteome Research! 🎉 Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... A huge thanks to all our collaborators for making this happen!

TIMS2Rescore: A Data Dependent Acquisition-Parallel Accumulation and Serial Fragmentation-Optimized Data-Driven Rescoring Pipeline Based on MS2Rescore

The high throughput analysis of proteins with mass spectrometry (MS) is highly valuable for understanding human biology, discovering disease biomarkers, identifying therapeutic targets, and exploring pathogen interactions. To achieve these goals, specialized proteomics subfields, including plasma proteomics, immunopeptidomics, and metaproteomics, must tackle specific analytical challenges, such as an increased identification ambiguity compared to routine proteomics experiments. Technical advancements in MS instrumentation can mitigate these issues by acquiring more discerning information at higher sensitivity levels. This is exemplified by the incorporation of ion mobility and parallel accumulation and serial fragmentation (PASEF) technologies in timsTOF instruments. In addition, AI-based bioinformatics solutions can help overcome ambiguity issues by integrating more data into the identification workflow. Here, we introduce TIMS2Rescore, a data-driven rescoring workflow optimized for DDA-PASEF data from timsTOF instruments. This platform includes new timsTOF MS2PIP spectrum prediction models and IM2Deep, a new deep learning-based peptide ion mobility predictor. Furthermore, to fully streamline data throughput, TIMS2Rescore directly accepts Bruker raw mass spectrometry data and search results from ProteoScape and many other search engines, including Sage and PEAKS. We showcase TIMS2Rescore performance on plasma proteomics, immunopeptidomics (HLA class I and II), and metaproteomics data sets. TIMS2Rescore is open-source and freely available at https://github.com/compomics/tims2rescore.
