Maintaining high sensitivity while limiting false positives is a key challenge in peptide identification from mass spectrometry data. Here, we therefore investigate the effects of integrating the machine learning-based post-processor Percolator into our spectral library searching tool COSS. To evaluate the effects of this post-processing, we have used twenty data sets from two different projects and have matched these against the NIST spectral library. The matching is carried out using two performant spectral library search engines (COSS and MsPepSearch), both with and without Percolator post-processing, and using sequence database search engine MS-GF+ as a baseline comparator. The addition of the Percolator rescoring step was particularly effective for COSS, resulting in a substantial improvement in sensitivity and specificity of the identifications. Importantly, the false discovery rate was especially strongly affected, resulting in much more reliable results. COSS is freely available as open source under the permissive Apache2 license, and binaries and source code are found at https://github.com/compomics/COSS .

ABSTRACTSpectral similarity searching to identify peptide-derived MS/MS spectra is a promising technique, and different spectrum similarity search tools have therefore been developed. Each of these tools, however, comes with some limitations, mainly due to low processing speed and issues with handling large databases. Furthermore, the number of spectral data formats supported is typically limited, which also creates a threshold to adoption. We have therefore developed COSS (CompOmics Spectral Searching), a new and user-friendly spectral library search tool supporting two scoring functions. COSS also includes decoy spectra generation for result validation. We have benchmarked COSS on three different spectral libraries and compared the results with established spectral search and sequence database search tool. Our comparison showed that COSS more reliably identifies spectra and is faster than other spectral library searching tools. COSS binaries and source code can be freely downloaded from https://github.com/compomics/COSS.

Purpose: Kidney, ureter, and bladder radiography (KUB) has frequently been used in suspected urolithiasis, but its performance is known to be lower than that of computed tomography (CT). This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of digitally post-processed kidney ureter bladder radiography (KUB) in the detection of ureteral stones. Materials And Methods: Thirty patients who underwent digital KUB and CT were included in this retrospective study. The original digital KUB underwent post-processing that involved noise estimation, reduction, and whitening to improve the visibility of ureteral stones. Thus, 60 digital original or post-processed KUB images were obtained and ordered randomly for blinded review. After a period, a second review was performed after unblinding stone laterality. The detection rates were evaluated at both initial and second review, using CT as reference standard. The objective (size) and subjective (visibility) parameters of ureteral stones were analyzed. Fisher’s exact test was used to compare the detection sensitivity between the original and post-processed KUB data set. Visibility analysis was assessed with a paired t-test. Correlation of stone size between CT and digital KUB data sets was assessed with Pearson’s correlation test. Results: The detection rate was higher for most reviewers once stone laterality was provided and was non-significantly better for the post-processed KUB images (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in stone size among CT and digital KUB data sets. In all reviews, visibility grade was higher in the post-processed KUB images, irrespective of whether stone laterality was provided. Conclusion: Digital post-processing of KUB yielded higher visibility of ureteral stones and could improve stone detection, especially when stone laterality was available. Thus, digitally post-processed KUB can be an excellent modality for detecting ureteral stones and measuring their exact size.

Confident characterization of intact glycopeptides is a challenging task in mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics due to microheterogeneity of glycosylation, complexity of glycans, and insufficient fragmentation of peptide bones. Open mass spectral library search is a promising computational approach to peptide identification, but its potential in the identification of glycopeptides has not been fully explored. Here we present pMatchGlyco, a new spectral library search tool for intact N-linked glycopeptide identification using high-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data. In pMatchGlyco, (1) MS/MS spectra of deglycopeptides are used to create spectral library, (2) MS/MS spectra of glycopeptides are matched to the spectra in library in an open (precursor tolerant) manner and the glycans are inferred, and (3) a false discovery rate is estimated for top-scored matches above a threshold. The efficiency and reliability of pMatchGlyco were demonstrated on a data set of mixture sample of six standard glycoproteins and a complex glycoprotein data set generated from human cancer cell line OVCAR3.

Quality of the components in the mechanical engineering is of the utmost importance. Most of quality control procedures can be provided by advanced quality assurance methods that enable visualization of inner structure of a component within all of the occurring defects. This paper suggests an innovative post-processing technique for Full-Matrix ultrasonic imaging with Matrix phased arrays in the case of immersion testing. Evaluation of the reliability was performed by simulation via CIVA software as well as by experimental testing of a real component with given defects. The obtained results of the research demonstrated high sensitivity and accuracy of the suggested technique.
