Making proteomics accessible: RokaiXplorer for interactive analysis of phospho-proteomic data.

SUMMARY

We present RokaiXplorer, an intuitive web tool designed to address the scarcity of user-friendly solutions for proteomics and phospho-proteomics data analysis and visualization. RokaiXplorer streamlines data processing, analysis, and visualization through an interactive online interface, making it accessible to researchers without specialized training in proteomics or data science. With its comprehensive suite of modules, RokaiXplorer facilitates phospho-proteomic analysis at the level of phosphosites, proteins, kinases, biological processes, and pathways. The tool offers functionalities such as data normalization, statistical testing, activity inference, pathway enrichment, subgroup analysis, automated report generation, and multiple visualizations, including volcano plots, bar plots, heat maps, and network views. As a unique feature, RokaiXplorer allows researchers to effortlessly deploy their own data browsers, enabling interactive sharing of research data and findings. Overall, RokaiXplorer fills an important gap in phospho-proteomic data analysis by providing the ability to comprehensively analyze data at multiple levels within a single application.
