Abstract:
Unipept Desktop 2.0 is the most recent iteration of the Unipept Desktop tool that adds support for the analysis of proteogenomics datasets. Unipept Desktop now supports the automatic construction of targeted protein reference databases that only contain proteins associated with a predetermined list of taxa. This improves both the taxonomic and functional resolution of a metaproteomic analysis and yields several technical advantages. By limiting the proteins present in a reference database, it is now also possible to perform (meta)proteogenomics analyses. Since the protein reference database now lives on the user's local machine, they have complete control over the database used during an analysis. Data does no longer need to be transmitted over the internet, decreasing the time required for an analysis and better safeguarding privacy sensitive data. As a proof of concept, we present a case study in which a human gut metaproteome dataset is analyzed with Unipept Desktop 2.0 using different targeted databases based on matched 16S rRNA gene sequencing data.
