Analysis and Visualization of Spatial Proteomic Data for Tissue Characterization

摘要

Spatial proteomic profiling of tissue sections provides in situ molecular analysis of proteins and peptides. Analysis and visualization of these high-dimensional data cubes is challenging. We present a methodology for this task based on a novel developed algorithm for the feature identification and reduction step. To show the validity of our approach, we analyzed prostate cancer tissue sections with an adapted kernel-density based clustering algorithm.
