What's New in Byos and Byosphere 4.4

Features available in Byos 4.4

  • A new feature for retention time calibration using internal reference glycans is now available for more confident released glycan assignments.
  • Peptide Analysis workflows now include a feature to display glycan cartoons on glycopeptides in reports
  • Chromatography workflows have been updated to allow manual candidate additions of glycopeptides
  • Fast XIC options have moved from the advanced parameter section to the processing nodes tab in the graphical interface
  • Peptide MS2 spectra now have optional annotation of internal fragments in the spectrum viewer
  • Disulfide processing and annotation in chromatogram workflows are improved in several ways; allowing the import of validated peptide projects, allowing trace labelling of disulfides and new disulfide specific reports
  • Delta masses in intact can now be assigned to selected samples for simplified Intact MS result generation
  • There are several key improvements in our Oligonucleotide workflow – MS2 data validation by selecting or restoring best MS2 spectrum annotation; New building blocks added for improved coverage of assembled nucleotides; Sample input tab to import sample information via csv files; new Mass XIC widget; Improved impurity analysis for clipped sequence variants
  • We have introduced the ability to generate Volcano plots in our reports; this feature is available in all workflows.
  • Chromatogram comparison projects now enable direct input of MS samples as reference rather than reference projects

Features available in Byosphere 4.4

  • Byosphere Virtual Client – Byosphere Byos client is installed on a server VM in the Byosphere data center and accessed by the end user via remote desktop
  • Users can now view other file types in directly in the Byosphere browser, e.g., pdf, png, jpeg, etc., as well as custom rendering for certain csv files
  • For improved data processing and job manipulation a new feature enables cancellation of running or queued jobs from the desktop Jobs tab
  • Advanced option to import metadata information from files or added during project creation
  • Chromeleon CDS generated data can now be accessed directly from the biosphere client file browser
