Understanding proteomic differences underlying the different phenotypic classes of colon and rectal carcinoma is important and may eventually lead to a better assessment of clinical behavior of these cancers. We here present a comprehensive description of the proteomic data obtained from 90 colon and rectal carcinomas previously subjected to genomic analysis by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). H...

This article contains data related to the two research articles titled Transcriptomic and iTRAQ proteomic approaches reveal novel short-term hyperosmotic stress responsive proteins in the gill of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) (Tse et al. [1]) and iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis reveals acute hypo-osmotic responsive proteins in the gills of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica)...

Computational modeling is useful as a means to assemble and test what we know about proteins and networks. Models can help address key questions about the measurement, definition and function of proteomic networks. Here, we place these biological questions at the forefront in reviewing the computational strategies that are available to analyze proteomic networks. Recent examples illustrate how ...

Finding reliable, meaningful patterns in data with high numbers of attributes can be extremely difficult. Feature selection helps us to decide what attributes or combination of attributes are most important for finding these patterns. In this chapter, we study feature selection methods for building classification models from high-throughput genomic (microarray) and proteomic (mass spectrometry)...

The physiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, is being studied with intensity. However, despite the genomic and transcriptomic data available today, the pathogenic potential of these bacteria remains poorly understood. Therefore, proteomic approaches seem relevant in studying mycobacteria. This review covers the main stages in the proteomic analysis methods ...

The emerging field of toxicoproteomics has been greatly advanced by quantitative proteomic technologies and their increasing applications in toxicology. The discipline is focused on the proteomic study of toxicity caused by toxic substances, including but not limited to drugs, toxins, environmental stressors, chemicals and any other materials that induce significant pathological responses. Drug...

Proteomics is more than just generating lists of proteins that increase or decrease in expression as a cause or consequence of pathology. The goal should be to characterize the information flow through the intercellular protein circuitry which communicates with the extracellular microenvironment and then ultimately to the serum/plasma macroenvironment. The nature of this information can be a ca...

At present, whole genome sequences are reasonably available for many organisms. However, genomics alone is insufficient in providing comprehensive information on the mechanisms underlying the biological processes of an organism. With the development of various proteomic technologies, proteomics has enhanced our understanding of biological processes on a global scale. Enormous efforts have been ...

BACKGROUND Accurate diagnostic and monitoring tools for ulcerative colitis (UC) are missing. Our aim was to describe the proteomic profile of UC and search for markers associated with disease exacerbation. Therefore, we aimed to characterize specific proteins associated with inflamed colon mucosa from patients with acute UC using mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis. METHODS Biopsies we...

A pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is observed in approximately 20% of breast cancer patients. A proteomic analysis was performed on plasma and tumor tissue before treatment to evaluate its potential impact on the prediction of response. One hundred and forty-nine breast cancer patients eligible for neoadjuvant c...
