scpdata: a data package for single-cell proteomics

Recent advances in sample preparation, processing and mass spectrometry (MS) have allowed the emergence of MS-based single-cell proteomics (SCP). However, bioinformatics tools to process and analyze these new types of data are still missing. In order to boost the development and the benchmarking of SCP methodologies, we are developing the scpdata experiment package. The package will distribute published and curated SCP data sets in standardized Bioconductor format.
