AlphaPeptTools: scverse-native analysis of mass spectrometry-based proteomics
- 1Department of Proteomics and Signal Transduction, Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry
Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics now routinely profiles proteomes at scale, but extracting biological insight and integrating complementary modalities remains challenging. Here, we present AlphaPeptTools, a Python package for the analysis of MS-proteomics data built on the AnnData data structure of the scverse. AlphaPeptTools implements scalable and modular strategies for MS-data ingestion, quality control, preprocessing, and statistical analysis while seamlessly integrating with the scverse ecosystem, unlocking multi-level, spatial, and multimodal analyses.
