Spectral assembly

4 methods · 2004–2017

Spectral assembly: Assemble the overlapping spectra into contigs BEFORE any sequence is called, so a protein is read from the assembled evidence rather than from peptides interpreted one at a time. Sequence assembly is the other way round.

Assemble the overlapping spectra into contigs BEFORE any sequence is called, so a protein is read from the assembled evidence rather than from peptides interpreted one at a time. Sequence assembly is the other way round.

The earliest of its 4 methods is Shotgun Protein Sequencing (2004); 3 more have followed.

Oldest first, by the paper that describes each one.

  • Shotgun Protein Sequencing (2004): Assembles overlapping MS/MS spectra of related peptides into contigs before any sequence is called, so a protein is sequenced from the assembly rather than from individual spectra. Tolerates mixtures and unanticipated modifications.
  • Automated mAb de novo (Bandeira SPS) (2008): Landmark Nat Biotech 2008 paper by Bandeira, Pham, Pevzner, Arnott & Lill: applies Shotgun Protein Sequencing (SPS), that is MS/MS spectral assembly, end-to-end to a monoclonal antibody, recovering both chains without any prior sequence.
  • Meta-SPS (2012): Shotgun protein sequencing with meta-contig assembly for longer de novo protein contigs.
  • Native antibody de novo MS/MS (2017): De novo MS/MS sequencing workflow for native human antibodies.
