Affiliation: Bioinformatics Group Leader, University of Victoria Proteomics Centre
Web-site: Yassene Mohammed
Abstract:
Targeted quantitative proteomics using multiple/selected/parallel reaction monitoring (MRM, SRM, PRM) is already being applied by many researchers in biology, biochemistry, and clinical research laboratories because these methods allow rapid and precise quantitation of proteins in complex biological samples. Multiplexed MRM/PRM experiments are manageable manually for tens of target proteins in tens of samples, but scaling-up to hundreds of targets in thousands of samples is challenging. As a result, the planning, data analysis, and interpretation of the results from these experiments are all lengthy processes, usually requiring expertise in bioinformatics and proteomics. The talk will deal with few challenges in designing and running targeted experiments, and will focus on recent bioinformatic developments that helped accelerating the design and reducing human error by integrating information from online resources, using reactive programming, and implementing scientific workflows
