# === 3. FILTER & IMPUTE ===
# Keep proteins with < 50% missing

MSstats Workflow

r
library(MSstats)

# From MaxQuant
evidence <- read.table('evidence.txt', sep = '\t', header = TRUE)
proteinGroups <- read.table('proteinGroups.txt', sep = '\t', header = TRUE)
annotation <- read.csv('annotation.csv')

# Convert to MSstats format
msstats_input <- MaxQtoMSstatsFormat(evidence = evidence,
                                      proteinGroups = proteinGroups,
                                      annotation = annotation)

# Process data
processed <- dataProcess(msstats_input, normalization = 'equalizeMedians',
                         summaryMethod = 'TMP', censoredInt = 'NA')

# Comparison
comparison <- matrix(c(1, -1), nrow = 1)
rownames(comparison) <- 'Treatment_vs_Control'
colnames(comparison) <- c('Control', 'Treatment')

results <- groupComparison(contrast.matrix = comparison, data = processed)

QC Checkpoints

Stage Check Action if Failed
Import >1000 proteins Re-run MaxQuant
Filter <30% removed Check sample prep
Missing <40% per sample Check MS performance
PCA Replicates cluster Check for batch effects
Stats >1% differential Adjust thresholds

Workflow Variants

TMT/iTRAQ Isobaric Labeling

r
library(MSnbase)

# Load TMT data
tmt_data <- readMSnSet('tmt_psms.txt')

# Normalize with reference channel
tmt_norm <- normalize(tmt_data, method = 'center.median')

# Summarize to protein level
protein_data <- combineFeatures(tmt_norm, groupBy = fData(tmt_norm)$protein, fun = 'median')

# Then proceed with limma as above

SILAC Workflow

r
# SILAC ratios from MaxQuant
silac <- read.delim('proteinGroups.txt')
ratio_cols <- grep('Ratio.H.L.normalized', colnames(silac), value = TRUE)

# Log2 transform ratios
silac_log2 <- log2(silac[, ratio_cols])

# One-sample t-test against 0 (no change)
results <- apply(silac_log2, 1, function(x) t.test(x, mu = 0)$p.value)

DIA-NN Workflow

r
# Load DIA-NN report
diann <- read.delim('report.tsv')

# Pivot to matrix
library(tidyr)
protein_matrix <- diann %>%
    select(Protein.Group, Run, PG.MaxLFQ) %>%
    pivot_wider(names_from = Run, values_from = PG.MaxLFQ)

# Then proceed with normalization and limma
