A new paper presents Spectroscape, a new method and web-based tool created to address the challenges in proteomics data management and exploration. Modern MS experiments for proteomics produce vast amounts of data, which is often stored in repositories associated with individual publications or projects and is hard to find, browse, share and reuse. The emerging paradigm is to organize data by spectral similarity in a spectral archive, but maintaining and working with large spectral archives is computationally challenging and not easily accessible to the typical proteomics researcher. Spectroscape was developed to enable real-time query and… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
