Mass spectrometry data processing

Target Audience:
All VIB staff
Location:

Ghent

General context

Please watch the video playlist by Lennart Martens in preparation for the training: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXxp6nsBenSX_W8DiOocKJ0laNauYNdYl

In this training session we start by reviewing the types of mass spectrometer, and what the properties of their output data are. Out of our understanding of the data, we learn to extract meaningful interpretations.

Learning outcomes
  • Obtain a good understanding of the origins and properties of mass spec data
  • Obtain an understanding of the processing of mass spec data, aimed at identifying and quantifying peptides and proteins
  • Gain sufficient understanding of the software tools and database used, and of the issues and caveats involved, to critically analyse and assess results from mass spectrometry based proteomics experiments
Required skills

A basic understanding of mass spectrometry as applied to peptides and proteins is required by the participants.
