Surprised that u go so low. With EvoSep 24 min method we can load lots more on our Ultra2 until reaching saturation especially with ICC2.0

On a separate note: I was surprised to find that none of the non-canonical SwissProt isoforms are included in the official human reference proteome (UP000005640).
Anyone know what’s going on here? 🤔

Hey #TeamMassSpec,

Many non-human proteomics studies still search against taxon-filtered FASTAs.

❌ Redundant sequences
❌ Inflated search space
✅ Reference proteomes cut redundancy, improve annotation, and make results comparable.

👉 Time to move beyond taxon filters. #proteomics #massspec #uniprot

Thanks @pwilmarth.bsky.social - also included the less-redundant "one protein per gene" db here ...Has anybody assessed potential benefits of the reduced search space on sensitivity?

aaah guess its "hidden" there :)

Hey #TeamMassSpec,

When you run proteomics on non-human species (mouse, rat, macaque, etc.) — which protein FASTA do you prefer?

Taxonomy-filtered UniProt (all entries)

Reference proteome (SwissProt+TrEMBL)

Ensembl/GENCODE

Something else?

Astral Zoom hits >7,000 protein groups & 67,000 precursors — on a 500 SPD EvoSep ENO run.

Sciex in the game.

Pretty impressed by ScanningSWATH data on the new ZenoTOF 8600.

..diaPASEF down to 1 ng Hela looks ok (using E.Coli entrapment)

Ion mobility stability over time is a helpful metric which we always generate to control for weather-related, or ITI-contamination driven drift effects..

For those interested: Have found the segmentation feature in timsControl. Simply right click in the 'chromatogram' pannel, and select 'Insert New Segment'.

That would be the "official" publication

Inerestingly, this picture changes when using fulltext search where algorithms based on Sequest (as implemented in ProteomeDiscover) dominate...

Trying to estimate popularity of search engines. (Something widespread I missed out?)
Based on citations/year of initial publication it seems as MSFragger would take over soon...
