Reference-Based Library Construction Improves Performance in low-input diaPASEF Workflows (opens in new tab)

In low input mass spectrometry-based proteomics, Data Independent Acquisition (DIA), including diaPASEF, is quickly becoming the method of choice for label free quantification. Whether using empirical or in silico spectral libraries, performance is dependent on the library; however, the optimal library construction strategy for low input proteomics remains an open question. To address this, we examine and develop library construction approaches that are compatible with both spectrum-centric a...
