Create a Skyline document for a targeted proteomics experiment from a MS/MS spectral library built with pepXML and mzXML and a background proteome from a FASTA format file.

(40 pages) Work with data independent acquisition (DIA) data, using a workflow that utilizes DIA and DDA runs acquired on the same instrument in series. Define and export a DIA isolation scheme. Build a spectral library from DDA data acquired before the DIA runs for the experiment. Choose peptides and transitions for a target set of proteins based on the spectral library. Import and analyze related DIA runs in Skyline to learn a simple starting workflow for beginning to work with DIA. (40 pages) Work with data independent acquisition (DIA) data, from either a Q Exactive or a TripleTOF instrument, using a 3-organism mix data set created for instruction, based on the Navarro, Nature Biotech 2016 benchmarking paper. Use the Import Peptide Search wizard for DIA to build a spectral library from DDA data with automatic iRT calibration for retention time calibration and an mProphet learned model for peptide peak detection.

Start learning how to apply the power of the Skyline interface for small molecule experiments. (9 pages) Target stable isotope labeled small molecules from a literature citation, specified as only precursor m/z, product ion m/z, and collision energy values. Learn how many existing Skyline features — created initially for targeted proteomics use — can now be applied to small molecule data. (28 pages) Target lipids in complex ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS)data using spectral libraries and ion mobility filtering. Explore a spectral library containing m/z, retention time, fragmentation, and ion mobility information, and learn how the CCS values for each molecule are used to increase the selectivity of precursor and fragment extracted ion chromatograms. (23 pages) Target small molecules specified as precursor ion chemical formulas and adducts, and product ion m/z values. Import a multi-replicate data set collected using LC-MS/MS on a triple quadulpole, and see how many existing Skyline features created initially for targeted proteomics use can now be applied to small molecule data.

Import a multi-replicate data set collected on a Q Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer for a set of plasma samples, and see how many existing Skyline features created initially for targeted proteomics use can be applied to small molecule data. (18 pages) Use Skyline calibrated quantification to estimate the absolute molecular quantities of peptides in your experiments. (19 pages) Use custom Live Reports to view, edit and export a wide range of values from your Skyline documents. These reports are perfect for use in Excel or with custom code written in R, Matlab, Java, C++ and other languages for doing deep statistical analysis after processing your instrument output with Skyline. Also learn to use the Skyline Results Grid view to gain access to these values and to add custom annotations while inspecting your data in Skyline. (38 pages) Create advanced models for matching target peptides with chromatogram peaks in Skyline. Skyline supports creating linear combinations of individual peak scores using the mProphet semi-supervised learning algorithm. Learn to generate decoy peptides and transitions, create and assess mProphet scoring models, and apply them to Skyline chromatogram peak picking, both for SRM and DIA/SWATH data. (28 pages) Use iRT in Skyline, a technique for storing calibrated, empirically measured peptide retention times in a library for future use in retention time prediction for scheduled acquisition and peak identity validation. In this tutorial, you will calibrate your own iRT calculator and also learn more about the iRT-C18 calibration proposed by Biognosys for the peptide standards in their iRT-Kit. (31 pages) Use Skyline to optimize collision energy (CE) values. Create scheduled CE optimization transitions lists for a document with 30 peptide precursors. Using supplied RAW files from a Thermo TSQ Vantage, you will recalculate the linear equation used to calculate CE for that instrument.
