Project description:NGPS is a method for de-novo, full-length protein sequencing in high throughput. The method is based on cleavage of the protein at semi-random sites by microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis (MAAH), enrichment of LC-MS/MS amenable peptides from the hydrolysate by solid-phase-extraction, LC-MS/MS analysis, de-novo long peptide tag sequencing of resulting peptides and assembly of peptide tags into consensus contigs.
Project description:Microbiome sequencing model is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) model that identifies and annotates microbiome nucleic acid sequencing method or platform in texts. This is the final model version used to annotate metagenomics publications in Europe PMC and enrich metagenomics studies in MGnify with sequencing metadata from literature.

Project description:We selected humann intervertebral disc samples to perform proteomics analysis. There were 1 case of grade I , 1 case of grade II, 3 cases of grade Ⅲ and 3 cases of grade Ⅳ according to Pfirrmann classfication. RNA seqencing analysis and single-cell RNA sequencing were integrated with proteomics data to identify the hub genes for intervertebral disc degeneration using bioinformatic method.
Project description:Critical protein therapeutics, such as antibodies and nanobodies, are often not encoded in reference genomes, limiting their accurate characterization via standard proteomics. Current methods rely on indirect inference, fragmented outputs, and labor-intensive workflows, which hinder functional insights and routine application. Here, we present a generalizable, end-to-end workflow for direct protein sequencing, combining streamlined sample preparation, AI-driven de novo peptide sequencing, and tailored assembly to reconstruct contiguous protein sequences. A novel composite scoring framework prioritizes longer assemblies and coverage, enhancing accuracy and reducing ambiguity. Validation across diverse protein modalities demonstrates its utility and ability to robustly reconstruct functionally critical regions essential for optimizing therapeutic efficacy, stability, and immunogenicity. This workflow advances precision proteomics with promising applications in therapeutic discovery, immune profiling, and protein engineering.
Project description:This is a single-arm, single centre open-label, phase II interventional clinical trial of combination immunotherapy with Nivolumab and Relatlimab in mCRC.
Project description:The overall purpose of this study is to describe the cellular composition of the human colon and its gene expression using scRNAseq and scATACseq methods. This will potentially provide is with a detailed map of the colon aiding our understanding of how diseases of the colon develop as well as the colons influence on systemic diseases such as type II diabetes.
