Integration and correlation of multiple areas of 'omics' datasets (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic) has potential to provide novel biological insights. Integration of these datasets is challenging however, involving use of multiple, domain-specific software in a sequential manner. We describe extending the use of Galaxy for proteomics software, enabling novel, advanced multi-omic applications in proteogenomics and metaproteomics. Focusing on the perspective of a biological user, we will demonstrate the benefits of Galaxy for these analyses, as well as its value for software developers seeking to publish new software. We will also report on our experience in training non-expert biologists to use Galaxy for these advanced, multi-omic applications. Working with biological collaborators, multiple proteogenomics and metaproteomics datasets representing a broad array of biological applications were used to develop workflows. Software required for sequential analytical steps such as database generation (RNA-Seq derived and others), database search and genome visualization were deployed, tested and optimized for use in workflows. Novel proteoforms (proteogenomic workflows, e.g., Galaxy Workflow: Integrated ProteoGenomics Workflow (ProteinPilot)) and microorganisms (metaproteomic workflows, e.g., Workflow for metaproteomics analysis - ProteinPilot' ) were reliably identified using shareable workflows. Tandem proteogenomic and metaproteomic analysis of datasets will be discussed using modular workflows. Sharing of datasets, workflows and histories on the usegalaxyp.org website and proteomic public repositories will also be discussed. We demonstrate the use of Galaxy for integrated analysis of multi-omic data, in an accessible, transparent and reproducible manner. Our results and experiences using this framework demonstrate the potential for Galaxy to be a unifying bioinformatics solution for multi-omic data analysis.

9. PROTEOGENOMICS : BIOLOGICAL INSIGHTS
SALIVARY PROTEOGENOMICS
• 52 novel proteoforms were identified in a 3D-fractionated salivary
dataset.
• Alternate frame translation was identified in PRB1 and PRB2
(12p13) region of human genome.
• PRB proteins are cleaved and secrete peptides and are known to
have implications in synovial sarcoma and gastric acid secretion.
NON-MODEL ORGANISM PROTEOGENOMICS
• Hibernation proteogenomics in 13-lined ground squirrel.
• Identified multiple novel proteoforms across three replicates.
• Plans for improving on genome annotation; correlation of
RNASeq quantitative data with proteomic quantitative data and
identification of the role of both known and novel proteoforms
in hibernation.

• Human lung cancer associated dataset subjected
to proteogenomic & metaproteomic analysis.
• Lung-infection causing species from Achromobacter,
Actinomyces, Stenotrophomonas and Streptococcus genera
were identified.
• Data from 16s rRNA will be used to generate databases for
further analysis.
METAPROTEOMICS OF CHILDHOOD CARIES
• In vitro investigation of sucrose-induced changes in the
metaproteomes of children with caries.
• Major shifts in taxonomy and function in paired microcosm
oral biofilms grown without and with sucrose respectively.

13. GALAXYP : ONGOING PROJECTS
COMMUNITY BASED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
• Community-based software development model should prove
effective for future implementation, testing and continued
improvement of command-line driven software tools.
• We plan to offer the many functionalities of MS-GF+ and
PeptideShaker in Galaxy, along with opportunities for
integration with other software tools via use of workflows.
SUBMITTING DATASETS TO DATA REPOSITORIES
• Modification of ProteomeExchange to communicate with Galaxy
API.
• Deployment of existing tools in Galaxy for ProteomeExchange
submission (e.g. PeptideShaker tools).
• Automated data retrieval – re-analysis and mining of public data
for new discoveries.
REPERTOIRE OF WORKFLOWS
• Sharing of analytical workflows that can be reused, shared
and creatively modified for multiple studies.
• Multiple workflows for metaproteomics, quantitative
proteomics, proteogenomics, RNASeq workflows, are being
developed, shared and used.
