Description: In this talk, we will discuss some novel uses of mass spectrometric data. First, we apply MS2 data for eukaryotic gene discovery. To do this, we must overcome a number of challenges, including computational bottlenecks, confidence assignment to peptide identification, and identification of spliced-peptides, (peptides that cross splice junctions). Our proteogenomic survey of Arabidopsis resulted in the identification of over 800 novel genes, which will be included in TAIR 9 release.

Second, we apply mass spectrometry data for antibody sequencing using a novel technique, 'genome-anchoring'. Our method allows the unambiguous reconstruction of mouse antibody sequence using tandem MS2 data.

Finally, we describe a novel computational method for computing the relative abundance of a protein relative to another, contradicting the apparent truism that protein quantification is limited to measuring relative expression of a single protein.
