A recent study by Katy Williams (UCSF), Christie Hunter (SCIEX), and Andrew Olsen (Advaita) used the iPathwayGuide within the OneOmics cloud computing environment to help understand how placental development can go awry during certain pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia.
In this pilot study, the researchers studied cytotrophoblast differentiation. Cytotrophoblasts are the cells that are mainly responsible for establishing an anchor between the developing embryo and placenta with the uterine wall. The researchers compared cytotrophoblasts from the primary culture at both 2nd trimester and full term. SWATH proteomics data acquired using a SCIEX TripleTOF® 6600 System were analyzed in OneOmics using iPathwayGuide to identify differentially regulated proteins and their associated pathways, biological processes, and molecular functions. The proteomics data were then compared with RNASeq transcriptomics data acquired using an Illumina HiSeq System. Both the proteomics data and transcriptomics data were correlated using the OneOmics Platform and iPathwayGuide in the cloud. This meta-analysis allowed the researchers to discover common pathways and processes between the data sets as well as those only observed in the proteomic or transcriptomic datasets alone.
The pilot study helped to illuminate the biological significance of multiple proteins and pathways and provided an effective pipeline for taking raw data to biological answers.

We recently hosted a webinar focused on streamlining forensic toxicology workflows, featuring expert speakers Maria Sarkisian from the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (SFOCME) and Dr. Dick Paul Kloos from the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). The webinar explored innovative LC-MS/MS strategies that help forensic labs improve efficiency. In this blog, we share highlights from the Q&A session, where our speakers addressed the audience’s questions and shared actionable insights for forensic laboratory professionals.
We’re excited to launch our Ask the PFAS expert series, where we tackle some of the most pressing questions around PFAS testing, containment, and contamination control. In this first instalment, we sit down with Simon Roberts, a SCIEX application scientist, to share practical insights and expert advice.
Thanks to Starbucks, who launched the pumpkin spice latte in 2003 (yes, over 20 years ago), the spice mixture became a global phenomenon, loved and disliked at the same time.
