Database-independent
De novo sequencing reads a peptide straight from its tandem mass spectrum. No reference proteome is required.
Proteins carry out the work of biology, but reading them is still a bottleneck. Conventional mass spectrometry workflows depend on a reference database. Anything absent from it stays invisible: a novel protein, an unexpected modification, an organism nobody has sequenced.
Seqora reads peptides directly from the spectra, with calibrated confidence attached to every call. InstaNovo is the engine at its core, with the rest of the platform built around it over several years of published work.
De novo sequencing reads a peptide straight from its tandem mass spectrum. No reference proteome is required.
Every prediction carries a confidence estimate with FDR control and match metrics, so results can be trusted.
Post-translational modifications are natively supported. No need to specify bespoke modifications and tolerate result tradeoffs.
The pipeline takes a full run of raw spectra and returns identification tables, with the modification coverage and downstream analysis proteomics researchers actually need.
Seqora is workflow software, not only a model. Projects, runs and results sit in one application, on your own hardware or on a cluster.
01
Raw mass spectrometry files are ingested and pre-processed into a run, locally or on HPC.
02
Our InstaNovo models read each tandem spectrum and propose the peptide that produced it.
03
Predictions are rescored and calibrated, then filtered at a chosen false discovery rate.
04
Results roll up to peptides and proteins, with observed and predicted spectra side by side.
Tryptic discovery workflows, cross-species panels, and label-free quantification.
Reading therapeutic and engineered proteins that have no genomic reference.
Non-tryptic HLA and MHC peptides, where database search is weakest.
Phosphoproteomics and broader modification discovery.
Mixed and environmental communities with incomplete reference coverage.
Protease activity and cleavage-product analysis.
We turn proteins into data, unlocking new ways to understand, explore, and work with the building blocks of life.
