The state of the human proteome in 2012 as viewed through PeptideAtlas.

ABSTRACT: The Human Proteome Project was launched in September 2010 with the goal of characterizing at least one protein product from each protein-coding gene. Here we assess how much of the proteome has been detected to date via tandem mass spectrometry by analyzing PeptideAtlas, a compendium of human derived LC-MS/MS proteomics data from many laboratories around the world. All data sets are processed with a consistent set of parameters using the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline and subjected to a 1% protein FDR filter before inclusion in PeptideAtlas. Therefore, PeptideAtlas contains only high confidence protein identifications. To increase proteome coverage, we explored new comprehensive public data sources for data likely to add new proteins to the Human PeptideAtlas. We then folded these data into a Hu
