Abstract

Proteomics is maturing and delivering diverse and rich datasets on the proteins present in cells and tissues, their interacting partners and biological functions. Function-function databases for proteomics are well advanced and new standards and repositories are emerging for mass spectrometry-based experimental proteomics. This project will develop an integrated platform of proteomic data resources enabled as Grid and Web services for the storage, dissemination and management of proteomic data, using existing standards from proteomics, bioinformatics and e-science, as well as novel databases wrapped for the Grid. We will then demonstrate the utility of the Integrated Proteomics Platform with a set of Work Packages, supporting novel biological queries that will be readily achievable due to the advances in data integration delivered by this project. (Joint with BBS/B/17204, BBS/B/16453 and BBS/B/17239).
