Deep learning models for de novo peptide sequencing

Xiaowen (Kevin) Liu, Department of Medicine

Project Description

Tandem mass spectrometry has played a pivotal role in advancing proteomics, enabling the high-throughput analysis of protein functions in biological tissues. Many deep learning methods have been developed for de novo peptide sequencing, i.e., predicting the peptide sequence for a mass spectrum. However, the prediction accuracy is still not high. Here we propose to develop new deep learning models and algorithms to increase the accuracy in de novo peptide sequencing.

Project Outcome

Build a deep learning model for accurate peptide de novo peptide sequencing using bottom-up mass spectrometry data.
