Pathway Palette: a rich internet application for peptide- protein- and network-oriented analysis of mass spectrometry data

摘要

Recent improvements in proteomics technologies have collectively yielded data sets that far exceed the capabilities of typical low-throughput interpretation strategies. Unfortunately, tools designed to leverage the “peptide-centric” content of mass spectrometry-based proteomics lag the current rate of data production. Here we describe Pathway Palette, a freely accessible internet application that enables researchers to easily transition from peptides to biological pathways, while simultaneously retaining the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the underlying mass spectrometry data.
