A recent webcast by Charles Pineau, Director of Protim, IRSET, Rennes, France, demonstrates how you can use the OneOmics™ Platform as a “Click & Easy” workflow for integrating next-generation proteomics (NGP) data with next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Dr. Pineau and his colleagues are interested in gaining new insights into human spermatogenesis and understanding the dialogue between germ cells and somatic cells. In previous research using rat samples, over 1400 unannotated transcripts were identified. Subsequent proteogenomic studies then showed that some of those transcripts encoded for novel proteins. The data analysis for that research was performed using the open source EMBOSS suite of tools.
In the current study, the researchers were interested in analyzing human samples and developing a more simplified workflow for data analysis. Using the SCIEX TripleTOF® 6600, and the Illumina HiSeq 2500, over 1100 new potential transcripts were identified with more than 2 peptides at FDR < 1%. The OneOmics Platform was used for data processing and analysis. Compared with the previous open source EMBOSS suite of tools used in the rat studies, the OneOmics Platform was about 75x faster. Additionally, another major benefit using the OneOmics Platform was the relative ease with which the data could be analyzed compared with the previous workflow which required extensive user customization by writing scripts and formatting files. This enabled the researchers to focus on the biology rather than the complications associated with formatting datasets and transformation of files. Ongoing studies are taking a subset of candidates and validating them using MRM studies, qPCR, and immunohistochemistry.

Regulated laboratories are evolving faster than ever. New analytical modalities, higher sample throughput, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and leaner teams are reshaping how work gets done. At the same time, expectations for data integrity, standardization, and operational efficiency continue to increase complexity and/or scope. In this environment, LC-MS software is no longer simply an instrument control platform—it has become a critical part of a laboratory’s quality management system. The question is no longer whether your lab has changed, but whether your software has evolved to support the way regulated labs operate today, and if they are ready and able to meet the demands, they will face tomorrow.
Analyst software has long been a trusted foundation in regulated LC-MS laboratories—and for many, it still performs reliably today. But regulated environments are evolving faster than ever. As labs transition to Windows 11, strengthen cybersecurity policies, modernize IT infrastructure, and prepare for future compliance expectations, software decisions are no longer just about what works today—they’re about managing tomorrow’s risk. Analyst will not be supported on Windows 11. While some labs may continue operating in unsupported environments temporarily, the bigger question is: when that risk becomes reality, will your lab be reacting under pressure—or executing a planned mitigation strategy with confidence?
As regulatory scrutiny increases and detection requirements tighten, laboratories are facing a new question: How can TFA be measured reliably, sensitively, and at scale?
