Abstract

Managing Proteomics Data: From Generation and Data Warehousing to Central Data Repository

Herbert Thiele, Jorg Glandorf, Peter Hufnagel, Gerhard Korting and Martin Bluggel

With the large variety of Proteomics workflows, as well as the large variety of instruments and data-analysis software available, researchers today face major challenges validating and comparing their Proteomics data. It is the expectation that Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) related standardization initiatives with its standardized data formats but also with its efforts in standardized processing and validation will lead to field-generated data of greater accuracy, reproducibility and comparability.
