One of two data highlights published today details a meta-analysis of alterations in the soluble blood proteome caused by COVID-19. It is entitled ‘CoViMAPP – analysing changes in the soluble blood proteome due to COVID-19’. It is based on work recently published in Nature. Please see Babačić et al. (2023) for the original open-access article.

Many studies have investigated how compounds in blood serum are affected by COVID-19, though proteins remain the most frequently used in clinical practice. Despite this, only a relatively small portion of the proteome has been explored to date, and coverage is very low. Babačić et al. (2023) used multiple methods to expand the coverage of the proteome. Their study comprised of meta-analysis inlcuding both known mass spectrometry datasets and a dataset that they generated during their own investigations. The researchers have placed their findings in an app, named CoViMAPP, that can be used as a dynamic tool for future meta-analyses.
