    Bioinformatics Toolbox 3.0 MS

    Category  Proteomics>Mass Spectrometry Analysis/Tools

    Abstract  Bioinformatics Toolbox 3.0 offers computational molecular
    biologists and other research scientists an open and extensible
    environment in which to explore ideas, prototype new algorithms, and
    build applications in drug research, genetic engineering, and other
    genomics and proteomics projects. The toolbox provides access to
    genomic and proteomic data formats, analysis techniques, and
    specialized visualizations for genomic and proteomic sequence and
    microarray analysis. Most functions are implemented in the open
    MATLAB (see Note 1) language, enabling you to customize the
    algorithms or develop your own. Key features include:

    Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis:

    A set of functions is provided for mass spectrometry data analysis. The
    tools are designed for preprocessing, classification, and marker
    identification from surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization
    (SELDI), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), liquid
    chromatography (LC)/mass spectrometry (MS), and gas
    chromatography (GC)/MS data. Preprocessing functions include
    baseline correction, smoothing, calibration, and resampling. You can
    align raw spectra data using the mass/charge (M/Z) axis and perform
    retention time alignment on LC/MS and GC/MS data. A graphical user
    interface (GUI) lets you view multiple spectra simultaneously.

    Tutorials provide step-by-step examples of how to smooth, align, and
    normalize spectra and then use classification and statistical learning
    tools to create classifiers and identify potential biomarkers.

    Statistical Learning and Visualization:

    Bioinformatics Toolbox provides functions that build on the
    classification and statistical learning tools in the Statistics Toolbox
    (see Note 2). These include support vector machine (SVM) and K-
    nearest neighbor classifiers; functions for setting up cross-validation
    experiments and for measuring the performance of different
    classification methods; and tools for selecting discriminating features.
    Graph viewing and manipulation tools let you display interaction maps,
    hierarchy plots, and pathways.

    Additional Key Features include:

    1) Capabilities for microarray data analysis and visualization.

    2) Graph theory and graph visualization tools.

    3) Gene Ontology (GO) functionality.

    4) Sequence analysis tools including functions for pairwise and
    multiple sequence alignment.

    5) Phylogenetic tree analysis tools.

    6) Genomic, proteomic, and gene expression file formats.

    7) Access to Web-based databases.

    Note 1: MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment
    that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than
    with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and
    FORTRAN.

    Note 2: Statistics Toolbox extends MATLAB to support a wide range of
    common statistical tasks. The toolbox contains two (2) categories of
    tools - 1) Building-block statistical functions for use in MATLAB
    programming; 2) Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for interactive data
    analysis.
