| name | tooluniverse-proteomics-analysis |
| description | Mass-spec proteomics analysis — protein identification, quantification (LFQ, TMT, iTRAQ), differential expression (tumor vs normal, treatment vs control), PTM identification, and pathway enrichment on protein lists. Use when you have proteomics MS output, asking about protein abundance differences, or doing systems-level proteomic interpretation. |
Proteomics Analysis
RULE ZERO — Check for pre-computed results FIRST
Before following any instruction below, scan the data folder for:
*_executed.ipynb → read with tu run read_executed_notebook '{"data_folder":"<path>","search":"<keyword>"}' and cite its cell outputs as the authoritative answer
- Pre-computed result files (CSV/TSV with names like
*results*, *deseq*, *enrich*, *stats*, *_simplified.csv) → read directly and report the requested value
- Canonical analysis scripts (
analysis.R, run_*.py, find_*.R, *.Rmd) → execute as-is and read the output
Only follow this skill's re-analysis recipe below if none of the above exist. Re-running from raw data produces different numbers than the published answer and is much slower (often 5-10× turn count).
Comprehensive analysis of mass spectrometry-based proteomics data from protein identification through quantification, differential expression, post-translational modifications, and systems-level interpretation.
When to Use This Skill
Triggers: User has proteomics MS output files, asks about protein abundance/expression, differential protein expression, PTM analysis, protein-RNA correlation, multi-omics integration involving proteomics, protein complex/interaction analysis, or proteomics biomarker discovery.
