Proxeon has added new functionalities to Proteincenter, the company's proteomics data-interpretation tool that bridges the gap between search engines and publications.
Proteincenter rapidly interprets complex datasets into biologically relevant information.
Direct integration of the KEGG pathway repository into Proteincenter now enables researchers to link identified proteins directly to the biological pathways in which they are involved.
Proteincenter is said to be useful for scientists focused on malarial studies owing to the addition of the PlasmoDB to its consolidated protein database.
Improvements in handling quantitative proteomics data enable differentially expressed proteins to be correlated with biological information, while technical enhancements have increased the speed with which multiple datasets are imported into Proteincenter.
Marten Winge, chief executive officer at Proxeon, said: 'We are continually expanding the capabilities of Proteincenter to ensure that users have an effective and efficient tool that minimises the time they spend on data interpretation and enables them to see results in a meaningful biological context.' Proteincenter is a consolidated, biologically annotated, protein sequence database derived from all major protein databases to enable filtering, clustering and statistical bio-informatic analysis from single, combined or comparison datasets.
This web-based tool is used at key proteomic centres in Europe and the US.
