Proteomics

Training material for proteomics workflows in Galaxy

Requirements

Before diving into this topic, we recommend you to have a look at:

• Introduction to Galaxy Analyses

Material

Introduction

Start here if you are new to proteomic analysis in Galaxy.

Protein identification and quantification

These tutorials cover protein identification and/or label-free and label based quantification from data dependent acquisition (DDA) and data independent acquisition (DIA).

Postprocessing of proteomics data

These tutorial cover statistical analyses and visualizations after protein identification and quantification.

Special proteomics techniques

These tutorials focus on special techniques such as N-terminomics and mass spectrometry imaging.

Multi-omics analyses

These tutorials combine proteomics with other -omics technologies such as transcriptomics.

Prediction of peptide properties

These tutorials explain in-silico analyses of different peptide properties.

Metaproteomics analysis of clinical data

These tutorials are step by step analysis from database generation to the discovery of peptides to verification, quantitation, and interpretation of the results.

Galaxy instances

You can use a public Galaxy instance which has been tested for the availability of the used tools. They are listed along with the tutorials above.

You can also use the following Docker image for these tutorials:

docker run -p 8080:80 quay.io/galaxy/proteomics-training

NOTE: Use the -d flag at the end of the command if you want to automatically download all the data-libraries into the container.

It will launch a flavored Galaxy instance available on http://localhost:8080. This instance will contain all the tools and workflows to follow the tutorials in this topic. Login as admin with password password to access everything.
