Objective:
Design software to process proteomics data and provide statistical solutions for assembly of mass spectra data from soybean rust proteins.

Approach:
Software will be developed or adapted to process and interpret mass spectrometry data derived from soybean rust infected plants. Tasks will include producing output in a format that facilitates further analysis, adapting or developing new software for parsing peptides and re-assembly into proteins, and performing the statistical analysis required for results confirmation. Research topics include monitoring false positive rates; designing algorithms for the statistical analysis of assembling proteins from peptides; designing a work-flow for software and analysis.
