PomBseen: An automated pipeline for analysis of fission yeast images.

ABSTRACT: Fission yeast is a model organism widely used for studies of eukaryotic cell biology. As such, it is subject to bright-field and fluorescent microscopy. Manual analysis of such data can be laborious and subjective. Therefore, we have developed pomBseen, an image analysis pipeline for the quantitation of fission yeast micrographs containing a bright-field channel and up to two fluorescent channels. It accepts a wide range of image formats and produces a table with the size and total and nuclear fluorescent intensities of the cells in the image. Benchmarking of the pipeline against manually annotated datasets demonstrates that it reliably segments cells and acquires their image parameters. Written in MATLAB, pomBseen is also available as a standalone application.

Project description:BackgroundResearch involving microbial ecosystems has drawn increasing attention in recent years. Studying microbe-microbe, host-microbe, and environment-microbe interactions are essential for the understanding of microbial ecosystems. Currently, metaproteomics provide qualitative and quantitative information of proteins, providing insights into the functional changes of microbial communities. However, computational analysis of large-scale data generated in metaproteomic studies remains a challenge. Conventional proteomic software have difficulties dealing with the extreme complexity and species diversity present in microbiome samples leading to lower rates of peptide and protein identification. To address this issue, we previously developed the MetaPro-IQ approach for highly efficient microbial protein/peptide identification and quantification.ResultHere, we developed an integrated software platform, named MetaLab, providing a complete and automated, user-friendly pipeline for fast microbial protein identification, quantification, as well as taxonomic profiling, directly from mass spectrometry raw data. Spectral clustering adopted in the pre-processing step dramatically improved the speed of peptide identification from database searches. Quantitative information of identified peptides was used for estimating the relative abundance of taxa at all phylogenetic ranks. Taxonomy result files exported by MetaLab are fully compatible with widely used metagenomics tools. Herein, the potential of MetaLab is evaluated by reanalyzing a metaproteomic dataset from mouse gut microbiome samples.ConclusionMetaLab is a fully automatic software platform enabling an integrated data-processing pipeline for metaproteomics. The function of sample-specific database generation can be very advantageous for searching peptides against huge protein databases. It provides a seamless connection between peptide determination and taxonomic profiling; therefore, the peptide abundance is readily used for measuring the microbial variations. MetaLab is designed as a versatile, efficient, and easy-to-use tool which can greatly simplify the procedure of metaproteomic data analysis for researchers in microbiome studies.
