RESUMEN
The volume of public proteomics data is rapidly increasing, causing a computational challenge for large-scale reanalysis. Here, we introduce quantms ( https://quant,ms.org/ ), an open-source cloud-based pipeline for massively parallel proteomics data analysis. We used quantms to reanalyze 83 public ProteomeXchange datasets, comprising 29,354 instrument files from 13,132 human samples, to quantify 16,599 proteins based on 1.03 million unique peptides. quantms is based on standard file formats improving the reproducibility, submission and dissemination of the data to ProteomeXchange.
RESUMEN
Spatial landmarks are crucial in describing histological features between samples or sites, tracking regions of interest in microscopy, and registering tissue samples within a common coordinate framework. Although other studies have explored unsupervised landmark detection, existing methods are not well-suited for histological image data as they often require a large number of images to converge, are unable to handle nonlinear deformations between tissue sections and are ineffective for z-stack alignment, other modalities beyond image data or multimodal data. We address these challenges by introducing effortless landmark detection, a new unsupervised landmark detection and registration method using neural-network-guided thin-plate splines. Our proposed method is evaluated on a diverse range of datasets including histology and spatially resolved transcriptomics, demonstrating superior performance in both accuracy and stability compared to existing approaches.

Interpreting electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) maps with atomic models requires high levels of expertise and labour-intensive manual intervention in three-dimensional computer graphics programs1,2. Here we present ModelAngelo, a machine-learning approach for automated atomic model building in cryo-EM maps. By combining information from the cryo-EM map with information from protein sequence and structure in a single graph neural network, ModelAngelo builds atomic models for proteins that are of similar quality to those generated by human experts. For nucleotides, ModelAngelo builds backbones with similar accuracy to those built by humans. By using its predicted amino acid probabilities for each residue in hidden Markov model sequence searches, ModelAngelo outperforms human experts in the identification of proteins with unknown sequences. ModelAngelo will therefore remove bottlenecks and increase objectivity in cryo-EM structure determination.

MOTIVATION: In pathway analysis, we aim to establish a connection between the activity of a particular biological pathway and a difference in phenotype. There are many available methods to perform pathway analysis, many of them rely on an upstream differential expression analysis, and many model the relations between the abundances of the analytes in a pathway as linear relationships. RESULTS: Here, we propose a new method for pathway analysis, MIPath, that relies on information theoretical principles and, therefore, does not model the association between pathway activity and phenotype, resulting in relatively few assumptions. For this, we construct a graph of the data points for each pathway using a nearest-neighbor approach and score the association between the structure of this graph and the phenotype of these same samples using Mutual Information while adjusting for the effects of random chance in each score. The initial nearest neighbor approach evades individual gene-level comparisons, hence making the method scalable and less vulnerable to missing values. These properties make our method particularly useful for single-cell data. We benchmarked our method on several single-cell datasets, comparing it to established and new methods, and found that it produces robust, reproducible, and meaningful scores. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Source code is available at https://github.com/statisticalbiotechnology/mipath, or through Python Package Index as "mipathway."
