Manuscript Summary Statistics (Table 1)
BLASTs novel peptides against UniProt SwissProt (572k reviewed proteins) on HPC.
Species Resolution

Delta = (best species identity %) minus (second-best species identity %). Peptides right of the dashed line (delta > 15%) are species-diagnostic and can be used for species identification. Peptides left of the line are conserved across species.

Top Proteins by De Novo Peptide Count
Taxonomic Coverage

Identity of each peptide across the top species, grouped by source protein. Reveals patterns like conserved vs species-specific protein regions.

Post-Translational Modifications

Modification analysis from de novo sequences. In paleoproteomics, high N-deamidation with low Q-deamidation indicates genuine ancient protein (time-dependent asparagine degradation).

Select a near-match peptide from the table below, then click Show Alignment to visualize mismatches with per-residue confidence. Green = genuine variant (AA score > 0.95), Red = possible sequencing error (AA score < 0.70).

This view cross-references BLAST mismatches with Casanovo's per-residue amino acid confidence scores to distinguish species-specific markers from sequencing artifacts.

Submits reversed peptide BLAST to estimate de novo FDR (requires SSH).

Target-decoy approach: reversed peptide sequences are BLASTed against the same SwissProt database. At each identity threshold, FDR = reversed_hits / forward_hits. This is the best available FDR proxy for de novo sequencing without a database.

Cross-species comparison of de novo peptides. Requires BLAST results from multiple samples (e.g., feather samples from different bird species).

Per-Protein Cross-Sample Comparison

Protein family classification of BLAST hits. Groups proteins into biological families (keratins, collagens, histones, etc.) for interpretation.

Protein sequence coverage maps for top 20 proteins by peptide count. Green = confirmed (100% identity), Orange = near-match (90-99%), Red = distant (<90%).
