Site-specific quantification of the in vivo UFMylome reveals myosin modification in ALS
UFMylation is the post-translational modification of Ubiquitin Fold Modifier1 (UFM1) applied to substrate proteins. Blazev et al. develop an antibody-based enrichment approach followed by LC-MS/MS to ...

Our newest paper is out in Science! This riddle took 5 years to solve. Genome annotation and AI missed it. Manual inspection and serendipity still have advantages for cracking nature's secrets! With @science.org @evolutionvu.bsky.social @rokaslab.bsky.social

Hi #proteomics people, I'm hoping someone can help interpret these results. We have generated .fasta from RNAseq. We are testing the effects of different db size on min score cut-off @ 1% FDR. Hypothesis: as db increase, score increases. We don't see this with multiple algorithms and appears random.
