MetAMP
MetAMP is a software framework and collaborative platform designed to support systematic reviews and meta-analyses of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) research. It provides standardized data models, analysis pipelines, and reproducible workflows to synthesize results across diverse studies.
Origin and scope: Initiated in the early 2010s by researchers in bioinformatics and pharmacology, MetAMP aims
Architecture and features: MetAMP uses modular components, including a data schema for peptides and assays, a
Applications: Researchers use MetAMP to estimate overall antimicrobial efficacy across peptides, compare activities across organisms or
Limitations and reception: As with any meta-analysis platform, results depend on data quality and comparability of
Future directions: Development focuses on expanding data coverage, improving data curation, and integrating machine-learning modules for
