Neil Kelleher and Lloyd Smith propose that the scientific community adopt the term ‘proteoform’ to refer to all the different forms that a protein can take. Will the community adopt it? Read more
Our choice of Method of the Year in prior years has tended to be methods that generally didn’t even exist only a few years earlier but which had quickly bounded onto the scientific stage and attracted the attention of a large portion of the scientific community. Targeted proteomics, our choice for 2012, on the other hand has existed for years in scaled-down forms using methods based on antibodies. Western blotting, immunofluorescence, antibody arrays, etc. can all be used to detect and measure targeted subsets the proteins expressed in cells and tissues. Read more
Many in the mass spectrometry community agree that MS data should be made publicly available for everybody’s benefit. All data, including the raw files generated by the mass spectrometers. Read more
Starting in March, Nature Methods strongly recommends deposition of proteomics data to public repositories before manuscript submission. An Editorial in the March issue describes the motivation of this decision and comments on the public repositories that are now available to proteomics researchers. Read more
In this month’s Technology Feature several key developers of mass spectrometry technology share their wishes for the future of this technology. Did your hope for the next innovation in mass spectrometry make the list? If not, here is your opportunity to add wishes, hopes or comments – and let the developers know what advances you would like to see in the coming years. Read more
