On the cover, the automated analysis of unsequenced proteins remains hindered by restrictive
or error-prone sequencing techniques. We show that, not unlike the way the assembly
of DNA reads into genomics sequences, unidentified MS/MS spectra can be assembled
into protein contigs to greatly increase the length and quality of the reconstructed
protein sequences, as demonstrated on a sample of western diamondback rattlesnake
venom extract. For details, see article by Bandeira et al., pages 1123–1134....Show more
