A pipeline developed to establish sequence identity and estimate abundance of non-model organisms (such as viral quasispecies) using customized ultra-deep sequence ‘meta-barcodes’ has been modified to improve performance by re-development in the Python programming language. Redundant packages were removed and new…

To standardize metabolomics data analysis and facilitate future computational developments, it is essential is have a set of well-defined templates for common data structures. Here we describe a collection of data structures involved in metabolomics data processing and illustrate how they are utilized in a…

Microbial community proteomics is rapidly gaining traction as it allows exploration of functional processes in microbial ecosystems. Consequently, there is a growing need for user-friendly tools that enable performance evaluation and interactive visualization of the increasingly complex community proteomics data. We…

As biological data increases, we need additional infrastructure to share it and promote interoperability. While major effort has been put into sharing data, relatively less emphasis is placed on sharing metadata. Yet, sharing metadata is also important, and in some ways has a wider scope than sharing data itself. Here…

Meta-analysis is a common statistical method used to summarize multiple studies that cover the same topic. It can provide less biased results and explain heterogeneity between studies. Although there exists a variety of meta-analysis softwares, they are rarely both convenient to use and capable of comprehensive…

Data analysis tools have become essential to the study of biology. Tools available today were constructed with layers of technology developed over decades. Here, we explain how some of the principles used to develop this technology are sub-optimal for the construction of data analysis tools for biologists. In contrast…

Metaproteomics analyzes the functional dynamics of microbial communities by identifying peptides and mapping them to the most likely proteins and taxa. The challenge in this field lies in seamlessly integrating taxonomic and functional annotations to accurately represent the contributions of individual microbial taxa…

Metaproteomic peptide identification is constrained by the structure and size of the protein search space. Pooled gene catalogues provide coverage but obscure genome-level evidence, and current workflows for data-dependent (DDA) and data-independent (DIA) acquisition diverge in their database strategies. We present…
