Lecture description

Mass spectrometry (MS) is by far the most used experimental approach in proteomics. The ProteomeXchange consortium (https://www.proteomexchange.org) has standardized data submission and dissemination of public MS proteomics data worldwide. ProteomeXchange resources are committed to comply with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable) principles, support reproducible research and represent the state-of-the-art in proteomics with regards to open data practices.

Within ProteomeXchange, the PRIDE database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/) at the European Bioinformatics Institute is the most used resource worldwide, accounting for ~80% of all submitted datasets. As a key point, the activities of ProteomeXchange are aligned with the open data standards developed under the umbrella of the Proteomics Standards Initiative.

The perceived reliability of PRIDE and the rest of the ProteomeXchange resources has enabled an unprecedented increase in the amount of proteomics data in the public domain, which is now comparable to other omics fields such as transcriptomics. As a consequence, data re-use activities are flourishing and are revolutionizing the proteomics field. Some inspiring examples of how this data is being utilised by the scientific community will be showcased. Finally, some insights on the upcoming challenges will also be discussed, including the management of sensitive (clinical) human proteomics datasets.
