The neuronal synapse is underpinned by a large and diverse proteome but the molecular evidence is spread across many primary datasets. These data were recently curated into a single dataset describing a landscape of ∼8000 proteins found in studies of mammalian synapses. Here, we describe programmatic access to the dataset via the R/Bioconductor package Synaptome.db, which enables convenient and in-depth data analysis from within the Bioconductor environment. Synaptome.db allows users to obtain the respective gene information, e.g. subcellular localization, brain region, gene ontology, disease association and construct custom protein-protein interaction network models for gene sets and entire subcellular compartments.
The package Synaptome.db is part of Bioconductor since release 3.14, https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/annotation/html/synaptome.db.html, it is open source and available under the Artistic license 2.0. The development version is maintained on GitHub (https://github.com/lptolik/synaptome.db). Full documentation including examples is provided in the form of vignettes on the package webpage.
Supplementary data are available at online.
神经元突触由庞大且多样的蛋白质组支撑,但分子证据分散在许多原始数据集中。这些数据最近被整理成一个单一数据集,描述了在哺乳动物突触研究中发现的约8000种蛋白质的情况。在这里,我们描述了通过R/Bioconductor包Synaptome.db对该数据集进行编程访问的方法,这使得在Bioconductor环境中能够方便地进行深入数据分析。Synaptome.db允许用户获取各自的基因信息,例如亚细胞定位、脑区、基因本体、疾病关联,并为基因集和整个亚细胞区室构建自定义的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络模型。
自版本3.14起,Synaptome.db包是Bioconductor的一部分,网址为https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/annotation/html/synaptome.db.html,它是开源的,根据艺术许可2.0提供。开发版本在GitHub上维护(https://github.com/lptolik/synaptome.db)。完整的文档包括示例,以包网页上的小插图形式提供。
