Researchers at University of Toronto and the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital, as well as colleagues in Michigan and Scotland, have developed an innovative computational approach -- the first of its kind worldwide -- designed to analyze mass spectrometry data. The software, called SAINT (Significance Analysis of INTeractome), will allow researchers globally to quickly assess the reliability and accuracy of protein binding data, helping to further their studies of cancer and other illnesses.
