This technique enables the study of proteins on a much larger scale, facilitating further biological insights. However, there is a need for advanced algorithms that can accurately interpret mass spectrometry data and reliably identify proteins, including post-translational modifications and sequence variations present in a sample. One major issue with current algorithms is their frequent inability to detect unexpected post-translational modifications and sequence variations in proteins. To address this challenge, we present a novel mass-based alignment algorithm implemented in OpenSea. This algorithm utilizes de novo sequencing results to robustly identify post-translational modifications and sequence variations in proteins. 000002249 536__ $$oNIH$$cU19ES11384; U24DK5870 000002249 540__ $$fCC BY 000002249 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002249 650__ $$aSequence Analysis, Protein$$032477 000002249 650__ $$aMedical Informatics$$021938 000002249 650__ $$aAlgorithms$$014437 000002249 650__ $$aProtein Processing, Post-Translational$$024757 000002249 650__ $$aMass Spectrometry$$026224 000002249 650__ $$aProteins 000002249 650__ $$aProteomics$$035059 000002249 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002249 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000002249 7001_ $$aDasari, Surendra$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002249 7201_ $$aDubay, Christopher$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eAdvisor$$7Personal 000002249 8564_ $$9c30a9619-73fc-43d6-b444-14b5a6368724$$s1743811$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2249/files/2978_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2bdcac8808246711c3399de46ecadd27f$$31 000002249 905__ $$a/rest/prod/wp/98/8j/99/wp988j99n 000002249 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2249$$pstudent-work 000002249 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
