Query: Benchmarking PSM identification tools for single cell proteomics Single cell proteomics is an emerging sub-field within proteomics with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of cellular heterogeneity and interactions. Recent efforts have largely focused on technological advancements in sample preparation, chromatography and instrumentation to enable measuring proteins present in these ultra-limited samples. Although advancements in data acquisition have rapidly improved our ability to analyze single cells, the software pipelines used in data analysis were originally written for traditional bulk samples and their performance on single cell data has not been investigated. We benchmarked five popular peptide identification tools on single cell proteomics data. We found that MetaMorpheus achieved the greatest number of peptide spectrum matches at a 1% false discovery rate. Depending on the tool, we also find that post processing machine learning can improve spectrum identification results by up to [~]40%. Although rescoring leads to a greater number of peptide spectrum matches, these new results typically are generated by 3rd party tools and have no way of being utilized by the primary pipeline for quantification. Exploration of novel metrics for machine learning algorithms will continue to improve performance.
