Abstract Tremendous advances in mass spectrometric and bioinformatic approaches have expanded proteomics into the field of microbial ecology. The commonly used spectral annotation method for metaproteomics data relies on database searching, which requires sample-specific databases obtained from whole metagenome sequencing experiments. However, creating these is complex, time-consuming, prone to errors, potentially biasing experimental outcomes conclusions. This asks alternative that can provide rapid orthogonal insights data. Here, we present NovoLign, a de novo pipeline performs sequence alignment sequences complete enables taxonomic profiling complex communities evaluates coverage searches. Furthermore, NovoLign supports creation reference searching ensure comprehensive coverage. We assessed false positive annotations using wide range silico data, including pure strains, laboratory enrichment cultures, synthetic communities, environmental communities. In summary, employs large-scale enable profiling, evaluation outcomes, databases. publicly available via: https://github.com/hbckleikamp/NovoLign.
