The aim of this review is to address opportunities and challenges of metaproteomics from a computational perspective. Appealing to an audience of microbial ecologists and proteomic researchers alike, we provide an overview on state-of-the-art software and databases by which metaproteome data can be readily analyzed. Expert commentary: While tailored protein databases, combined search algorithms and iterative workflows are means to improve the identification yield, software tools for taxonomic and functional analysis are challenged by the vast amount of unannotated sequences in metaproteomics.
