  • Patent number: 11694769
    Abstract: The present systems and methods introduce deep learning to de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectrometry data, and in particular mass spectrometry data obtained by data-independent acquisition. The systems and methods achieve improvements in sequencing accuracy over existing systems and methods and enables complete assembly of novel protein sequences without assisting databases. To sequence peptides from mass spectrometry data obtained by data-independent acquisition, precursor profiles representing intensities of one or more precursor ion signals associated with a precursor retention time and fragment ion spectra representing signals from fragment ions and fragment retention times are fed into a neural network.

  • Patent number: 11644470
    Abstract: The present systems and methods are directed to de novo identification of peptide sequences from tandem mass spectrometry data. The systems and methods uses unconverted mass spectrometry data from which features are extracted. Using unconverted mass spectrometry data reduces the loss of information and provides more accurate sequencing of peptides. The systems and methods combine deep learning and neural networks to sequencing of peptides.

  • Patent number: 11573239
    Abstract: The present systems and methods introduce deep learning to de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectrometry data. The systems and methods achieve improvements in sequencing accuracy over existing systems and methods and enables complete assembly of novel protein sequences without assisting databases. The present systems and methods are re-trainable to adapt to new sources of data and provides a complete end-to-end training and prediction solution, which is advantageous given the growing massive amount of data. The systems and methods combine deep learning and dynamic programming to solve optimization problems.

  • Patent number: 10309968
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining amino acid sequence of a polypeptide or protein from mass spectrometry data is provided, using a weighted de Bruijn graph. Extracted and purified protein is cleaved into a mixture of peptide and then analyzed using mass spectrometry. A list of peptide sequences is derived from mass spectrometry fragment data by de novo sequencing, and amino acid confidence scores are determined from peak fragment ion intensity. A weighted de Bruijn graph is constructed for the list of peptide sequences having node weights defined by k?1 mer confidence scores. At least one contig is assembled from the de Bruijn graph by identifying node weights having the highest k?1 mer confidence scores.
