Developing Calculation Methods to Precisely Measure Proteome Proteins and Their Post-Translational Modifications


EMSL Project ID
26194

Abstract

In this proposed work we intend to: 1) Make an UStag caluclation algorithm into a high-throughput format that would be user friendly fo rthe general proteome community; 2) Create a human post translational modification (PTM) library containing accurate mass and elution time information; 3) Examine human samples for mutations and variations from the human genome; 4) Develop distributed and/or parallel algorithms needed to overcome computational challenges needed for high throughput automated application of UStag method.
