With high sensitivity and reproducibility, selected reaction monitoring (SRM) has become increasingly popular in proteome research for targeted quantification of low abundance proteins and post translational modification. SRM is also well accepted in other mass-spectrometry based research areas such as lipidomics and metabolomics, which necessitates the development of easy-to-use software for both post-acquisition SRM data analysis and quantification result validation. Here, we introduce a software tool SRMBuilder, which can automatically parse SRM data in multiple file formats, assign transitions to compounds, match light/heavy transition/compound pairs and provide a user-friendly graphic interface to manually validate the quantification result at transition/compound/sample level. SRMBuilder will greatly facilitate processing of the post-acquisition data files and validation of quantification result for SRM. The software can be downloaded for free from as part of the software suite ProteomicsTools.

Targeted mass spectrometry comprises a set of methods able to quantify protein analytes in complex mixtures with high accuracy and sensitivity. These methods, e.g., Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) and SWATH MS, use specific mass spectrometric coordinates (assays) for reproducible detection and quantification of proteins. In this protocol, we describe how to analyze in a targeted manner data from a SWATH MS experiment aimed at monitoring thousands of proteins reproducibly over many samples. We present a standard SWATH MS analysis workflow, including manual data analysis for quality control (based on Skyline) as well as automated data analysis with appropriate control of error rates (based on the OpenSWATH workflow). We also discuss considerations to ensure maximal coverage, reproducibility and quantitative accuracy.

In recent years, the technology and methods widely available for mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics have increased in power and potential, allowing the study of protein-level processes occurring in biological systems. Although these methods remain an active area of research, established techniques are already helping answer biological questions. Here, this recent evolution of MS-based proteomics and its applications are reviewed, including standard methods for protein and peptide separation, biochemical fractionation, quantitation, targeted MS approaches such as selected reaction monitoring, data analysis and bioinformatics. Recent research in many of these areas reveals that proteomics has moved beyond simply cataloguing proteins in biological systems and is finally living up to its initial potential – as an essential tool to aid related disciplines, notably health research. From here, there is great potential for MS-based proteomics to move beyond basic research, into clinical research and diagnostics.

The amount of public proteomics data is increasing at an extraordinary rate. Hundreds of datasets are submitted each month to ProteomeXchange repositories, representing many types of proteomics studies, focusing on different aspects such as quantitative experiments, post-translational modifications, protein-protein interactions, or subcellular localization, among many others. For every proteomics dataset, two levels of data are captured: the dataset description, and the data files (encoded in different file formats). Whereas the dataset description and data file formats are supported by all ProteomeXchange partner repositories, there is no standardized format to properly describe the sample metadata and their relationship with the dataset files in a way that fully allows their understanding or re-analysis. It is left to the users choice whether to provide or not an ad hoc document containing this information. Therefore, in many cases, understanding the study design and data requires going back to the associated publication. This can be tedious and may be restricted in the case of non-open access publications. In many cases, this problem limits the generalization and reuse of public proteomics data. Here we present a standard representation for sample metadata tailored to proteomics datasets produced by the HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative and supported by ProteomeXchange resources. We repurposed the existing data format MAGE-TAB used routinely in the transcriptomics field to represent and annotate proteomics datasets. MAGE-TAB-Proteomics defines a set of annotation rules that the datasets submitted to ProteomeXchange should follow, ranging from sample properties to data analysis protocols. We also introduce a crowdsourcing project that enabled the manual curation of over 200 public datasets using MAGE-TAB-Proteomics. In addition, we describe an ecosystem of tools and libraries that were developed to validate and submit sample metadata-related information to ProteomeXchange. We expect that these tools will improve the reproducibility of published results and facilitate the reanalysis and integration of public proteomics datasets.

The lack of consensus regarding the most appropriate analytical techniques for single-case experimental designs data requires justifying the choice of any specific analytical option. The current text mentions some of the arguments, provided by methodologists and statisticians, in favor of several analytical techniques. Additionally, a small-scale literature review is performed in order to explore if and how applied researchers justify the analytical choices that they make. The review suggests that certain practices are not sufficiently explained. In order to improve the reporting regarding the data analytical decisions, it is proposed to choose and justify the data analytical approach prior to gathering the data. As a possible justification for data analysis plan, we propose using as a basis the expected the data pattern (specifically, the expectation about an improving baseline trend and about the immediate or progressive nature of the intervention effect). Although there are multiple alternatives for single-case data analysis, the current text focuses on visual analysis and multilevel models and illustrates an application of these analytical options with real data. User-friendly software is also developed.
