An international and open community for the promotion of collaborative and open science in palaeoproteomics.
For the second month on a row the monthly talk focuses on a new bioinformatic tool for palaeoproteomic analysis. This month, Alex Burnett gives a demonstration on how to use ClassiCOL, a new tool to facilitate taxonomic identifications using LC-MS/MS data. ClassiCOL was recently published in the Journal of Proteome Research and the tool is freely accessible on Github.
More …During the monthly talk of March, Ioannis Patramanis presents his new tool for protein-based phylogenetic analysis and the associated opportunities and challenges. This research was published in the Peer Community Journal and the tool is freely accessible on Github.
In this first monthly talk of 2025, Pauline Raymond discusses the developments in integrating ZooMS analyses in zooarchaeological research, especially with a focus on Neanderthal subsistence. This research also features in the special issue of PaleoAnthropology on ZooMS and zooarchaeology.
During the last monthly talk of the year Luke Gent reflected on his PhD journey in proteomics applied to forensics.
Skeletal remains are one of the most commonly analysed materials in palaeoproteomics, but can a sample from one skeletal element be representative of the proteome of the entire skeleton? In this talk the variation in the recoverable proteome from different skeletal elements is investigted and what this means for sampling best practices.
