Subproject 14: (Host: THERMO FISHER, Bremen, Germany)
Title: Development of a complete data processing workflow for protein-protein and RNA-protein cross-linking
Objectives: The goals are i) implementation of algorithms for classification and identification of cross-linked peptides and ii) implementation of visualization of spectra of cross-linked peptides and proteins.
Methodology: Using the existing software development kit for Proteome Discoverer the ESR will implement a complete data processing workflow for protein-protein and RNA-protein crosslinking interactions including algorithms for classification and identification of cross-linked peptides and development of algorithms for calculating FDR, PEPs, and q-values and the implementation of visualization of spectra of cross-linked peptides and proteins.
Required skills:
Programming Skills
Strong command of English
Expected Results: A complete workflow for identifying and quantifying protein-protein and RNA-protein interactions within the Proteome Discoverer workflow.
