Jakub Vašíček

Genetisk variasjon gir nye muligheter for proteomforskning Jakub Vašíček disputerer 29.1.2026 for ph.d.-graden ved Universitetet i Bergen med avhandlingen "Enabling Haplotype-Aware Proteomics to Better Connect Human Genomes and Proteomes".

My PhD defense is coming up in less than two weeks (29th Jan)! I'm not sure if there will be streaming available, but whoever's interested here in Bergen, please come by!

ProHap - Search your proteomics data against population variants! Critically important new community resource! STOP. IGNORE THE FLOWCHART ABOVE. These are bioinformatics people, they think this stuff is mandatory. I assume their conferences all have...

This new resource is AMAZING. You can easily search (re-search) your proteomics data in the context of human genomics (you know, that whole thing where we don't all have the exact same genome?) Read the paper, but instructions in the blog post - proteomicsnews.blogspot.com/2024/12/proh...

And after you've done your search, you can feed your results to this little pipeline, and it will tell you who these peptides are: github.com/ProGenNo/Pro...

Here's a flowchart overview :))

Here's an overview of how many new peptides you gain in each of the databases. If you're looking for a database best suited to Europeans, then I'd go for the 1000 Genomes European superpopulation here: zenodo.org/records/12671237 (file 240530_ProHap_EUR.tar.gz)

Thanks so much for the shout-out! That's great to see you're finding this useful!

A little note on which of the fastas to use - the HRC data we got access to was aligned with an older genome build, and many variants were lost during liftover. The 50k+ variants are in the 1000 Genomes databases.

Thanks to @lukaskall.bsky.social, @njolstad.bsky.social and other co-authors that aren't here (yet) for their contribution!

One proteome to rule them all? We have published a tool to create custom protein databases from large panels of genotypes in @naturemethods.bsky.social. Check the post below to see why it matters, why you should use it, and how it will make your life both easier and more difficult.
