The Proteomics Services Team<br />

Previous and current research<br />

The Proteomics Services team develops tools and resources for the representation, deposition,<br />

distribution and analysis of proteomics and proteomics-related data. The team is a major contributor<br />

to the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI; www.psidev.info) of the international Human<br />

Proteome Organization (HUPO). We provide reference implementations for the PSI community<br />

standards, in particular the PRIDE protein identification database (www.ebi.ac.uk/pride) and the<br />

IntAct molecular interaction database (www.ebi.ac.uk/intact). On the next level of abstraction, we<br />

provide the Reactome database of pathways (www.reactome.org) in collaboration with Cold Spring<br />

Harbor Laboratory, New York.<br />

As a result of long-term engagement with the proteomics community, journal editors and funding<br />

organisations, proteomics data deposition in PSI-compliant data resources such as IntAct and<br />

PRIDE is increasingly becoming a strongly recommended part of the publishing process. Accordingly,<br />

this has resulted in a rapid increase in the data content of our resources.<br />

The Proteomics curation teams ensure consistency and appropriate annotation of all data; whether<br />

from direct depositions or literature curation, to provide the community with high-quality reference<br />

datasets.<br />

Across a range of European projects (Apo-Sys, BioSapiens, FELICS, ENFIN, ProteomeBinders and<br />

Transfog) we contribute to the development of data integration technologies using the Distributed<br />

Annotation System (DAS) and web services. In particular, the successful Ontology Lookup Service (OLS; www.ebi.ac.uk/ols), Protein<br />

Identifier Cross-Reference Service (PICR; www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/picr) and the DASTY DAS client (www.ebi.ac.uk/dasty) are under constant<br />

evolution and development.<br />

The Proteomics Services team follows an open source, open data approach; all resources<br />

we develop are freely available.<br />

Future project and goals<br />

In 2007, our molecular interaction activities resulted in a substantial set of published<br />

manuscripts, from the MIMIx guidelines via the PSI MI 2.5 format to the standard<br />

implementation in the IntAct database. In 2008, a similar breakthrough has been<br />

achieved in the domain of protein identifications, with three published MIAPE modules<br />

and the release of the mzML format for mass spectrometry data representation.<br />

For 2009, we plan to build on these standards and their implementation in PRIDE<br />

and IntAct, and initiate a regular exchange of proteomics data with international<br />

collaborators in the ProteomExchange and IMEx consortia (http://imex.sf.net).<br />

We also plan to intensify data integration within and beyond the projects of the Proteomics<br />

Services team, in particular in the context of the EnVision platform. We<br />

also hope to achieve this in the context of closer integration between IntAct and Reactome,<br />

supplementing canonical pathway information with relevant molecular interaction<br />

data.<br />

Finally, we will continue our successful collaboration with all PSI partners, in particular<br />

with journals and editors, to encourage data producers to make their data<br />

available to the community through public databases by utilising community-supported<br />

standards.<br />
