ProteoScanner: a full open-source proteomics data analysis and
visualization software
Abstract
ProteoScanner is an intuitive and versatile open-source software
platform that offers an integrated approach for proteomics data
analysis. With a focus on user-centric design, it facilitates an
end-to-end workflow that encompasses data preparation, pre-processing,
statistical testing, visualization, and biological interpretation. The
incorporation of various statistical analyses and visualization tools
allows for a sophisticated yet straightforward examination of complex
datasets, ensuring that users can easily navigate through the analytical
process. The software is an open-source, which allows full tweaking
capabilities that can be summarized in transparency, flexibility,
community-driven development, customizability, interoperability and
long-term viability. It is compatible with different data array from
current mass spectrometry equipment (Sciex and Thermo). This flexibility
is further enhanced by the software’s foundation in Python and R,
exploiting the capabilities of the two languages. ProteoScanner has a
standardized quality and efficiency in producing comprehensive
representations and biological insights. Combining a user-friendly
interface with the required analytical depth, It stands as a testament
to the software’s commitment to facilitating scientific discovery,
providing researchers with a comprehensive as well as an intuitive tool
in use. This balance of sophistication and accessibility makes
ProteoScanner an invaluable resource for the omics research community.
It is available as downloadable, executable file.
