Public data re-analysis -> Data repurposing
• Individual authors can re-analyze MS proteomics
raw data with new hypotheses in mind (not taken
into account by the original authors).
• Proteogenomics studies.
• Discovery of new PTMs/ variants.
• Meta-analysis studies.

Juan A. Vizcaíno
juan@ebi.ac.uk
Across-omics -> Proteogenomics approaches
• Proteomics data is combined with genomics and/or transcriptomics
information, typically by using sequence databases generated from DNA
sequencing efforts, RNA-Seq experiments, Ribo-Seq approaches, and long-
non-coding RNAs.

The “dark” proteome
Sequence-based
search engines

Juan A. Vizcaíno
juan@ebi.ac.uk
The “dark” proteome
• Only ~25-30% of spectra in a typical proteomics experiments
are identified.
• What does that fraction of unidentified spectra correspond to?
• For sure, there will be artefacts (e.g. chimeric spectra).
• Undetected protein variants:
• What it is not included in the searched database cannot be found.
• Peptide containing unexpected Post-Translational Modifications
(PTMs).
• Big potential to find novel biological relevant “proteoforms”.

Concept of “proteoform”
Could any of these “undetected” proteoforms have an important biological
function?

PRIDE Cluster: Second Implementation
• Clustered all public, identified
spectra in PRIDE
• EBI compute farm, LSF
• 20.7 M identified spectra
• 610 CPU days, two
calendar weeks
• Validation, calibration
• Feedback into PRIDE datasets
• EBI farm, LSF
• Griss et al., Nat. Methods, 2013
• Clustered all public spectra in
PRIDE by summer 2015.
• Apache Hadoop.
• Starting with 256 M spectra.
• 190 M unidentified spectra (they
were filtered to 111 M for spectra
that are likely to represent a
peptide).
• 66 M identified spectra
• Result: 28 M clusters
• 5 calendar days on 30 node
Hadoop cluster, 340 CPU cores

Consistently unidentified clusters (Recurring Unidentified Spectra)
• 19 M clusters contain only unidentified spectra.
• Most of them are likely to be derived from peptides.
• They could correspond to PTMs or variant peptides -> Potentially relevant
for biology.
• With various methods, we found likely identifications for about 20%.
• Vast amount of data mining remains to be done.

Infrastructure as a Service:
• Compute power not necessarily local but remote
• Still from compute centres, but on a larger scale
The ‘service’ is:
• Customer gets infrastructure, but it’s virtualized
• This Abstraction yields better
utilisation and scalability (but...)
• Developer/Customer has to interface with these abstraction layers
What’s a cloud environment?

Juan A. Vizcaíno
juan@ebi.ac.uk
Purpose:
• Develop robust, fully reproducible and automated proteomics
analysis pipelines (DDA ‘shot-gun’ proteomics workflows).
• Deployed in a cloud environment and reusable by the scientific
community.
Started in February (1 year), ELIXIR Implementation study:
• EMBL-EBI (Proteomics & Cloud infrastructure Teams)
• ELIXIR-DE (Kohlbacher EKUT , Eisenacher RUB)
ELIXIR Implementation Study

Juan A. Vizcaíno
juan@ebi.ac.uk
Develop exemplary proteomics data analysis workflows and deploy
them in the EMBL-EBI "Embassy Cloud”:
(1) Standard identification workflow
(2) Identification workflow for PTMs
(3) Quantification (label-free/label-based approaches)
(4) Quality Control (to aid data set interpretation/reanalysis evaluation)
(5) Versions of quantification approaches (including PTMs)
è Connected to public proteomics data from
ELIXIR Implementation Study

Features:
• Tool modularisation
• Solutions for data handover between tools with standardised
(PSI) formats
• Adapters for integrating third-party software (search engines,
LuciPHOr, FIDO, percolator, etc.)
• Integration into various workflow systems as a basis

Open analysis pipelines -> In the near future…
• Recent 3-year BBSRC grant awarded to do the same for DIA
approaches (to start on December 2017).
• In collaboration with the Stoller Center (Manchester) (co-PIs Graham,
Hubbard & Townsend)
• Recent 4-year Wellcome Trust grant awarded to do (among other
things) pipelines for proteogenomics approaches (to start mid 2018).
• In collaboration with J. Choudhary (Institute of Cancer Research, London)

Purpose
Data dissemination intro popular
bioinformatics resources

Juan A. Vizcaíno
juan@ebi.ac.uk
Main challenges (1)
• Lack of information/annotation about the experimental
design :
• Need for manual curation unavoidable at present
• But wouldn’t it be needed anyway?
• Crowd-sourcing infrastructure?
• Computational infrastructure challenges:
• Datasets get larger and larger…
• Analysing many datasets together is challenging (in
terms of the IT infrastructure)
• Windows OS dependency (things are improving in this
context though)

Juan A. Vizcaíno
juan@ebi.ac.uk
Main challenges (2)
• Computational analysis challenges:
• Need to improve current computational analysis
methods for big datasets (e.g. FDR calculation)
• Size of DBs is very large (e.g. in proteogenomics)
• Open modification searches
• “Controlled access” for clinical proteomics data:
• Not enforced at present, but it is common practise not
to share these datasets just in case…

Juan A. Vizcaíno
juan@ebi.ac.uk
Main challenges (3): Across-omics analysis
• It can be very challenging to find “matching” datasets (e.g.
genomics, proteomics, metabolomics).
• Better connection between resources from different omics
approaches is needed.

Juan A. Vizcaíno
juan@ebi.ac.uk
Summary
• Public proteomics datasets are on the rise! (~250 new
datasets/month in PRIDE).
• A lot of possibilities open for reuse of this data:
• New purposes: proteogenomics approaches.
• Discovery of new proteoforms (e.g. new PTMs, new variants).
• Starting to work in open and reproducible analysis pipelines.
• ELIXIR Implementation Study (DDA data, collaboration EMBL-EBI &
ELIXIR-DE)
• In the near future: DIA and proteogenomics approaches.
