Quantifying data reuse in proteomics using PRIDE downloads statistics and a semi-supervised LLM-based framework

Understanding how scientific datasets are accessed and reused is essential for resource planning and impact assessment. Here we present the PRIDE Archive download tracking infrastructure and a comprehensive analysis of 159.3 million download records from the PRIDE proteomics database (2021-2025), spanning 35,528 datasets accessed from 235 locations. The infrastructure includes nf-downloadstats, a scalable Nextflow pipeline for processing download logs, and DeepLogBot, a machine-learning framework that classifies traffic into bots, institutional download hubs, and independent user downloads. DeepLogBot combines heuristic seed selection with multi-LLM annotation (Claude and Qwen3) to produce gold-standard training labels, achieving 92.2% bot classification accuracy on a held-out test set. After separating bot traffic, analysis reveals downloads from 214 countries/regions, 249 institutional download hubs, and a concentrated reuse distribution, with the top five countries (United States, United Kingdom, Germany, China, and Canada) accounting for over 54% of independent user downloads. These findings provide actionable insights for repository infrastructure planning and highlight the importance of distinguishing automated from individual access in scientific data resources.

Integrated view and comparative analysis of baseline protein expression in mouse and rat tissues

The increasingly large amount of proteomics data in the public domain enables, among other applications, the combined analyses of datasets to create comparative protein expression maps covering different organisms and different biological conditions. Here we have reanalysed public proteomics datasets from mouse and rat tissues (14 and 9 datasets, respectively), to assess baseline protein abundance. Overall, the aggregated dataset contained 23 individual datasets, including a total of 211 samples coming from 34 different tissues across 14 organs, comprising 9 mouse and 3 rat strains, respectively. In all cases, we studied the distribution of canonical proteins between the different organs. The number of canonical proteins per dataset ranged from 273 (tendon) and 9,715 (liver) in mouse, and from 101 (tendon) and 6,130 (kidney) in rat. Then, we studied how protein abundances compared across different datasets and organs for both species. As a key point we carried out a comparative analysis of protein expression between mouse, rat and human tissues. We observed a high level of correlation of protein expression among orthologs between all three species in brain, kidney, heart and liver samples, whereas the correlation of protein expression was generally slightly lower between organs within the same species. Protein expression results have been integrated into the resource Expression Atlas for widespread dissemination. Author summaryWe have reanalysed 23 baseline mass spectrometry-based public proteomics datasets stored in the PRIDE database. Overall, the aggregated dataset contained 211 samples, coming from 34 different tissues across 14 organs, comprising 9 mouse and 3 rat strains, respectively. We analysed the distribution of protein expression across organs in both species. We also studied how protein abundances compared across different datasets and organs for both species. Then we performed gene ontology and pathway enrichment analyses to identify enriched biological processes and pathways across organs. We also carried out a comparative analysis of baseline protein expression across mouse, rat and human tissues, observing a high level of expression correlation among orthologs in all three species, in brain, kidney, heart and liver samples. To disseminate these findings, we have integrated the protein expression results into the resource Expression Atlas.

An integrated view of baseline protein expression in human tissues

The availability of proteomics datasets in the public domain, and in the PRIDE database in particular, has increased dramatically in recent years. This unprecedented large-scale availability of data provides an opportunity for combined analyses of datasets to get organism-wide protein abundance data in a consistent manner. We have reanalysed 24 public proteomics datasets from healthy human individuals, to assess baseline protein abundance in 31 organs. We defined tissue as a distinct functional or structural region within an organ. Overall, the aggregated dataset contains 67 healthy tissues, corresponding to 3,119 mass spectrometry runs covering 498 samples, coming from 489 individuals. We compared protein abundances between the different organs and studied the distribution of proteins across organs. We also compared the results with data generated in analogous studies. We also performed gene ontology and pathway enrichment analyses to identify organ-specific enriched biological processes and pathways. As a key point, we have integrated the protein abundance results into the resource Expression Atlas, where it can be accessed and visualised either individually or together with gene expression data coming from transcriptomics datasets. We believe this is a good mechanism to make proteomics data more accessible for life scientists.
