Conventional proteomics searches struggle with many modifications and fully open searches may be difficult to interpret. We introduce a "detailed" mass offset search in #MSFragger boosting interpretability and localization especially in complex cases (e.g. FPOP data): www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Really nice to see this work finally out in print. This has been a long term project (> 3 years) in the lab to understand why we couldn't make a few mutants in the burkholderia o-linked glycan biosynthesis pathway. Special shout out to Leila who drove most of this work! www.jbc.org/article/S002...

Regardless of current events, highlighting trainees as they continue to excel is a joy.

We just added @emmajays.bsky.social's recent [email protected] publication about chemical deamidation from common proteomics buffer to our website, too.

Congrats Emmajay! #TeamMassSpec

Excited to share this story describing new tools for studying Salmonella virulence. We engineered six multimutant strains to be deficient for different sets of SPI-2 T3SS effectors. We think there's lots of potential for new discoveries using these strains www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Salmonella multimutants enable efficient identification of SPI-2 effector protein function in gut inflammation and systemic colonization
Salmonella enterica spp. rely on translocation of effector proteins through the SPI-2 encoded type III secretion system (T3SS) to achieve pathogenesis. More than 30 effectors contribute to manipulatio...
