- Human Cell Map- The Human Cell Map is a project to map the cell using the biotin-based proximity-labelling technique BioID. It currently contains localization information on over 4000 proteins in HEK 293 cells. ![Screenshot of GIX report on PubMed]() 
- Gene Information eXtension (GIX)- Gene Information eXtension (GIX) is a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari that allows users to retrieve gene information directly on any website simply by double clicking a gene name. It supports several organisms and gene reports are customizable. ![Screenshot of GIX report on PubMed]() 
- ProHits-viz- James Knight developed interactive analysis visualization tools for interaction proteomics that enable organizing bait-prey data as heat maps or dot plots, quantitatively comparing two baits, calculating the specificity of preys across baits jointly analyzed, and analyzing the prey-prey relationships (a feature that is most useful for proximity biotinylation studies). With a simple text-based input compatible with SAINT or CRAPome outputs, this web-based resource should facilitate interaction proteomics analysis and visualization. ![Screenshot of ProHits-viz home page]() 
- ProHits 4.0: Ready for DIA analysis- Guomin (Frank) Liu and colleagues in the Gingras, Nesvizhskii, Bandeira, Choi, Tyers and Raught labs release a major update to the ProHits LIMS. In ProHits 4.0, Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) is handled through DIA-Umpire, MSPLIT-DIA, mapDIA and SAINT-intensity. ProHits 4.0 also facilitates data deposition in public repositories such as MassIVE and the transfer of data to new visualization tools we have developed. 
- DIA-Umpire: Integrated solution for Data Independent Acquisition![DIA-Umpire logo]() - Chih-Chiang Tsou from the Nesvizhskii lab developed, in collaboration with the Gingras lab, DIA-Umpire, an integrated platform for untargeted and semi-targeted identification and quantification from Data Independent Acquisition. DIA-Umpire works on the basis of demultiplexing complex spectra through retention time alignment of MS1 and MS2 peaks and generation of pseudo-MS/MS spectra that can be searched using standard tools developed for shotgun proteomics. DIA-Umpire is integrated in the next public release of ProHits, in addition to being available as a stand-alone tool. 
- MSPLIT-DIA: spectral matching tool for Data Independent Acquisition- Jian Wang from the Bandeira lab developed, in collaboration with the Gingras lab, MSPLIT-DIA, a spectral library matching tool for Data Independent Analysis. MSPLIT-DIA demultiplexes complex spectra through spectral projection, leading to the sensitive identification of peptides in DIA data. Used as a stand-alone, MSPLIT-DIA performs sensitive spectral counting compatible with SAINT analysis, and can also generate assay-specific libraries for targeted re-extraction. 
- SAINT series of software tools- Significance Analysis of INTeractome (SAINT) tools for interaction scoring were initially developed for unsupervised analysis of interactome data (Science, 2010), but rapidly adapted by Hyungwon Choi (Nat Methods, 2011), for semi-supervised analysis of spectral-count based interaction proteomics data using negative controls. More recent advances include the extension to intensity data (JPR, 2012), the implementation of the computationally efficient SAINTexpress (J Proteomics, 2015) and in 2016, the extension of the SAINT-intensity framework to peptides and transitions, for adaptation to Data Independent Analysis (DIA) data (Proteomics, 2016). - SAINT is maintained by Hyungwon Choi.
- SAINT scoring is implemented within the ProHits LIMS, in the Contaminant Repository for Affinity Purification (CRAPome) and for use with our visualization tools (ProHits-viz).
 
- ProHits-web: web-accessible quantitative interaction repository- Interaction proteomics repository for the Gingras lab and our collaborators. The repository is meant to support publications by offering access to high quality quantitative interaction proteomics data and other supplementary material through easy graphical user interfaces. We also use the resource to give password-protected access to specific datasets to collaborators and/or reviewers. Developed by JianPian Zhang and Guomin (Frank) Liu. - ProHits-web
- Publication
- Major datasets currently in ProHits-web include: the HSP90 co-chaperone specificity dataset (Taipale et al., Cell, 2014), an interaction dataset for the myotubularin phosphatases (St-Denis et al., Mol Cell Proteomics, 2015) and a comprehensive map of the centrosome-cilium interface (Gupta et al., Cell, 2015).
 
- CRAPome: Contaminant Repository for Affinity Purification- Database of annotated negative controls contributed by the research community to help distinguish real interactions from the non-specific background. - CRAPome, designed by Datta Mellacheruvu and Zach Wright (Nesvizhskii lab).

- ProHits - interaction proteomics LIMS- This software helps manage interaction proteomics data. Developed by Guomin (Frank) Liu and JianPian Zhang. 
- SAINT version 1 - unsupervised model- SAINT version 1.0 allows users to define interaction significance based on label-free quantitative AP-MS data (optimized for large-scale datasets with no control runs). 
- Nested clusters- This software helps in the identification of protein complexes from AP-MS data. - Nested cluster, developed by Hyungwon Choi.
