Summary:
Molecular compartmentalization is vital for cellular physiology. Spatially resolved proteomics allows biologists to survey protein composition and dynamics with subcellular resolution. Here, we present PEELing, an integrated package and user-friendly web service for analyzing spatially resolved proteomics data. PEELing assesses data quality using curated or user-defined references, performs cutoff analysis to remove contaminants, connects to databases for functional annotation, and generates data visualizations-providing a streamlined and reproducible workflow to explore spatially resolved proteomics data.
Availability And Implementation:
PEELing and its tutorial are publicly available at https://peeling.janelia.org/ (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15692517). A Python package of PEELing is available at https://github.com/JaneliaSciComp/peeling/ (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15692434).
