Unipept (https://unipept.ugent.be) is a web application for metaproteome data analysis, with an initial focus on tryptic-peptide-based biodiversity analysis of MS/MS samples. Because the true potential metaproteomics lies in gaining insight into expressed functions complex environmental samples, 4.0 release introduces complementary functional based GO terms and EC numbers. Integration this new existing important asset extended pipeline. As proof concept, human faecal set from 15 healthy subjects was reanalyzed 4.0, yielding fast, detailed, straightforward characterization taxon-specific catalytic that shown to be consistent previous results BLAST-based same data.
