Abstract:Proteomics has become a powerful technique to investigate cellular processes and network functions. This became possible as a result of major progress in the sensitivity of mass spectrometry instrumentation and data analysis software. As proteomics technologies are now becoming available to the wider scientific community, efforts are under way to identify complete proteomes. This information is used to improve genome annotation and to identify and confirm protein splice variants. Analysis of protein modifications and protein variants uses novel scoring and prediction tools independent of established protein databases. We discuss the proteomics tools and analysis pipelines that can be applied to rice in order to facilitate our understanding of rice genome structure and function.
