Cell Syst. To further improve the speed, a two-stage algorithmic approach, namely dynamic programming and refinement, is used. The software program was also carefully optimized. Further, the reading frame and the strand are given by GPF. The CDSpart hints are shortened at the ends by 3 base pairs with respect to the alignment range because in some cases a spliced peptide with one very short exon fragment may coincidentally also be aligned perfectly contiguously.

The evidence from MS was used simultaneously with evidence from the alignments of ESTs, from genomic conservation with Volvox carteri and from repeat masking. All above types of evidence are weighted in a probabilistic fashion and none of the evidence is trusted unconditionally.

In the case of peptide alignments, this accommodates the fact that some fraction of peptides are wrong or aligned incorrectly or ambiguously and it should therefore be possible to override these hints in the presence of sufficient contradicting evidence.

The index file was copied to flash memory, resulting in a search speed of 20 queries per second on average using a single CPU core, rendering the use of a computing cluster unnecessary, as was required with the previous GPF version. Mass spectrometric data from published [ 18 ] and unpublished experiments were subjected to the GPF pipeline. A total of bands were investigated. Overall, a set of 16 peptides could be identified. Unspliced alignments were identified for of these peptides From these spliced peptides, peptides An example is given in Fig.

The intron lengths of the spliced GPF peptides are also similar to the FM4 gene set, although slightly more coarse, which can be attributed to the small sample size of the spliced peptide set. The WebLogo plot depicted in Fig. Assessment of intron lengths and splice site motifs.

The histogram of the spliced GPF peptide intron lengths is more coarse due to the low number of peptides but nevertheless is comparable to both gene sets except for the drop at 2. This data are in line with previously reported results [ 21 ]. The indexing strategy employed in the new version of GPF allows for high-throughput alignment of de novo predicted amino acid sequences, performing 20 queries per second for C. In particular, the GPF approach may be considered more evidence-based than the exon splice graph approach, as it does not require gene prediction as a first step.

In addition, no specialized version of a search program is required to search the generated exon splice graph, but any of the available search programs may be used [ 19 , 15 , 22 , 23 ]. The question arises whether in addition to the GPF peptides, the six-frame translation of the genome could be used as an additional source of candidate peptides for the OMSSA database search step.

While false-positive peptides are also contained in the GPF peptide set, the peptides deduced via GPF tend to produce clusters of highly similar peptides with almost equal precursor masses and common sequence tags. The effects of applying less stringent GPF search criteria and adding six-frame translated peptides to the list of candidate peptides. A Less stringent GPF filtering criteria max. B More stringent GPF filtering criteria, as used in this study, lead to an increase of the incorporation rate of peptides identified via GPF only.

On the other hand, the incorporation rate of unspliced peptides from the six-frame translation remains low as they are unaffected by the changes.

In addition, Fig. Thus, it is obvious that the more permissive search criteria for GPF probably lead to more false-positive identifications. On the other hand, the more stringent criteria might result in the loss of correct spliced peptides. For future experiments using GPF, it will therefore be important to find a balance between stringency and sensitivity, which is definitely strongly influenced by the intron length chosen and the number of splice site consensus sequences considered.

From the data presented, this peptide information will be highly suitable for the validation and annotation of gene models in such a context. This could be especially relevant for proteomic datasets from comparative quantitative analyses since the application of GPF can be expected to increase the number of peptides that can be legitimately considered for quantitation.

For the successful employment of GPF, the definition of search parameters such as maximum intron length and splice site motifs is crucial and should be carefully determined from already available, possibly preliminary gene sets. Moreover, while defining these parameters, it should be taken into account that AUGUSTUS intrinsically restricts the number of incorrectly incorporated peptide hints, especially when multiple extrinsic hint sources are available. The higher sensitivity, increased speed and more compact memory footprint of the new GPF version make it a promising candidate for use in the proteogenomic annotation of higher organisms such as human and mouse.
