DiffNovo: A Transformer-Diffusion Model for De Novo Peptide Sequencing
摘要
Accurate identification of peptides from Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry data is crucial for discovering novel peptides and proteins. In this study, we introduce DiffNovo, which integrates transformer-based architectures with a diffusion model to enhance de novo peptide sequencing for DIA data. The experimental results demonstrate that DiffNovo outperforms existing state-of-the-art models in recall and precision for de novo peptide identification. DiffNovo achieves an average improvement of 20.7% in amino acid precision and an increase of 57.2% in peptide precision across various datasets. These substantial gains highlight the efficacy of DiffNovo in delivering accurate peptide sequencing from DIA mass spectrometry data.
