The most commonly used approaches involve first detecting spots and drawing spot boundaries on individual gels, then matching spots across gels and finally quantifying each spot by calculating normalized spot volumes. This approach is time consuming, error-prone and frequently requires extensive manual editing, which can unintentionally introduce bias into the results.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We introduce a new method for spot detection and quantification called Pinnacle that is automatic, quick, sensitive and specific and yields spot quantifications that are reliable and precise. This method incorporates a spot definition that is based on simple, straightforward criteria rather than complex arbitrary definitions, and results in no missing data. Using dilution series for validation, we demonstrate Pinnacle outperformed two well-established 2DE analysis packages, proving to be more accurate and yielding smaller coefficiant of variations (CVs). More accurate quantifications may lead to increased power for detecting differentially expressed spots, an idea supported by the results of our group comparison experiment. Our fast, automatic analysis method makes it feasible to conduct very large 2DE-based proteomic studies that are adequately powered to find important protein expression differences.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: Matlab code to implement Pinnacle is available from the authors upon request for non-commercial use.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0jefmorris@mdanderson.org<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btm590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,15]],"date-time":"2008-01-15T01:25:10Z","timestamp":1200360310000},"page":"529-536","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["<i>Pinnacle<\/i>: a fast, automatic and accurate method for detecting and quantifying protein spots in 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Jeffrey S.","family":"Morris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics and 2Department of Anesthesiology and Molecular Genetics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd Unit 447, Houston, TX 77030-4009, USA"}]},{"given":"Brittan N.","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics and 2Department of Anesthesiology and Molecular Genetics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd Unit 447, Houston, TX 77030-4009, USA"}]},{"given":"Howard B.","family":"Gutstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics and 2Department of Anesthesiology and Molecular Genetics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd Unit 447, Houston, TX 77030-4009, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020209505030200_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1242","DOI":"10.1002\/pmic.200401003","article-title":"Normalization and analysis of residual variation in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis for quantitative differential proteomics","volume":"5","author":"Almeida","year":"2005","journal-title":"Proteomics"},{"key":"2023020209505030200_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"533","DOI":"10.1002\/elps.1150180333","article-title":"A comparsion of selected mRNA and protein abundances in human liver","volume":"18","author":"Anderson","year":"1997","journal-title":"Electrophoresis"},{"key":"2023020209505030200_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1133","DOI":"10.1002\/1615-9861(200109)1:9<1133::AID-PROT1133>3.0.CO;2-S","article-title":"Similarity of the Escherichia coli proteome upon completion of different biopharmaceutical fermentation processes","volume":"1","author":"Champion","year":"2001","journal-title":"Proteomics"},{"key":"2023020209505030200_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4107","DOI":"10.1002\/pmic.200401261","article-title":"Improved peak detection and quantification of mass spectrometry data acquired from surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization by denoising spectra with the undecimated discrete wavelet transform","volume":"5","author":"Coombes","year":"2005","journal-title":"Proteomics"},{"key":"2023020209505030200_B5","first-page":"37","volume-title":"Brain Microdissection Techniques.","author":"Cuello","year":"2003"},{"key":"2023020209505030200_B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"392","DOI":"10.1002\/pmic.200390054","article-title":"A novel approach to spot detection for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis images using pixel value collection","volume":"3","author":"Cutler","year":"2003","journal-title":"Proteomics"},{"key":"2023020209505030200_B7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"425","DOI":"10.1093\/biomet\/81.3.425","article-title":"Ideal spatial adaptivation via wavelet shrinkage","volume":"81","author":"Donoho","year":"1994","journal-title":"Biometrika"},{"key":"2023020209505030200_B8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1720","DOI":"10.1128\/MCB.19.3.1720","article-title":"Correlation between protein and mRNA abundance in yeast","volume":"19","author":"Gygi","year":"1999","journal-title":"Mol.
