This biennial special issue compiles 37 studies describing novel, or at least significantly updated, methods used in omics research. Whereas this issue was assembled from submissions answering a fairly loosely defined open call, the methods described herein improve (at least) one of the main steps of a typical omics analyte characterization pipeline: sample preparation, sample processing, data acquisition, and data analysis. We have curated this issue around these four chronological steps and sorted the manuscripts according to their primary area of novelty or improvement (Figure 1).Sample Preparation, Defined as the Step Where Specific Classes of Analytes in a Biological Sample Are Enriched or Depleted Prior to Characterization To capture RNA-interacting proteins, Lemmens et al. cleverly combine a two-hybrid approach using the kinase substrate sensor system (KISS) to detect protein− protein interactions with the tribrid method, making use of the specific interaction between MS2 RNA and coat protein. Y. Zhang et al. use hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) to capture N-glycopeptides, while Young et al. implement a Histagged version of the peptidisc membrane mimetic to affinitypurify reconstituted membrane proteins. Iliuk et al. devise a chemical affinity approach to capture extracellular vesicles from plasma (EVtrap). On the opposite side of the enrichment coin, Nakajima et al. perform a pretreatment using sodium carbonate precipitation (SCP) to remove abundant hydrophilic proteins from dried blood spots (DBSs), hence enriching for hydrophobic proteins. S. Zhang et al. assess how immunodepleting plasma samples of their most abundant proteins may influence the identification and quantitation of specific proteins of interest. Whereas five of the six manuscripts describing new or improved sample preparation protocols fall in the proteomics category, Zougman et al. introduce a detergent-free method to prepare both proteins and metabolites from one sample by using “simultaneous trapping”(SiTrap).
