This is an important letter! We often do ‘omics analysis and each of the 1000’s of analytes measured has its own power calculation which is impossible to predict.

Our #phosphoproteomics analysis of insulin signaling in bone uncovered a new mechanism of transcriptional activation via S6K phosphorylation of AFF4. It appears to play a role in regulating the expression of genes in ageing and insulin resistance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Phosphoproteomics of aged insulin-resistant bone identifies P70S6K phosphorylation of AFF4 as a gene-specific transcriptional regulator - Nature Communications
Insulin signaling plays a crucial role in coordinating skeletal development with whole‑body energy metabolism. Here, the authors use phosphoproteomics to show insulin-signaling rewiring in aged, insul...

Protein:protein interactions are incredibly dynamic so how do we quantify and discover changes in native tissues? Our new study uses qXL-MS and PCP-MS to study dynamic remodeling of interactions following skeletal muscle insulin resistance. #MyoBlue #Proteomics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Quantitative interactome mapping of skeletal muscle insulin resistance
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are dynamic and critical to adaptive homeostasis. While there have been massive efforts to catalogue proteome-wide PPIs, global quantification of changes remains a ...

Our newest paper is out in Science! This riddle took 5 years to solve. Genome annotation and AI missed it. Manual inspection and serendipity still have advantages for cracking nature's secrets! With @science.org @evolutionvu.bsky.social @rokaslab.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hi #proteomics people, I'm hoping someone can help interpret these results. We have generated .fasta from RNAseq. We are testing the effects of different db size on min score cut-off @ 1% FDR. Hypothesis: as db increase, score increases. We don't see this with multiple algorithms and appears random.
