AbstractMulti-omics approaches focused on mass-spectrometry (MS)-based data, such as metaproteomics, utilize genomic and/or transcriptomic sequencing data to generate a comprehensive protein sequence database. These databases can be very large, containing millions of sequences, which reduces the sensitivity of matching tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data to sequences to generate peptide spectrum matches (PSMs). Here, we describe a sectioning method for generating an enriched database for those protein sequences that are most likely present in the sample. Our evaluation demonstrates how this method helps to increase the sensitivity of PSMs while maintaining acceptable false discovery rate statistics. We demonstrate increased true positive PSM identifications using the sectioning method when compared to the traditional large database searching method, whereas it helped in reducing the false PSM identifications when compared to a previously described two-step method for reducing database size. The sectioning method for large sequence databases enables generation of an enriched protein sequence database and promotes increased sensitivity in identifying PSMs, while maintaining acceptable and manageable FDR. Furthermore, implementation in the Galaxy platform provides access to a usable and automated workflow for carrying out the method. Our results show the utility of this methodology for a wide-range of applications where genome-guided, large sequence databases are required for MS-based proteomics data analysis.
