Preprocessing: pp
#
Any transformation of the data matrix that is not a tool. Other than tools, preprocessing steps usually don’t return an easily interpretable annotation, but perform a basic transformation on the data matrix.
Basic Preprocessing#
Calculate quality control metrics. |
|
Filter samples based on number of counts or proteins. |
|
Filter proteins based on number of counts or samples. |
|
Identify highly variable proteins. |
|
Filter proteins based on detection in replicates. |
|
Aggregate proteins based on grouping columns. |
|
Aggregate samples based on grouping columns. |
|
Normalize expression values for each sample to sum to a constant value. |
|
Drop excess metadata columns from MaxQuant output. |
|
Remove contaminant proteins from the data matrix. |
Imputation#
Impute missing values using a Gaussian distribution. |
