- Abstract:
- Although proteins have the advantage of being direct reporters of the outcome of gene expression, proteomics is conducted most simply when the target genome is known, a situation that rarely pertains in NERC-directed research. This programme is an exploratory study of proteomics applied to problems such as chemical communication between individuals, infection and population dynamics and sperm competition. The first part of the programme will be a critical assessment of the utility of different proteomics methods in the absence of genome data, and will explore a novel strategy for cross-species matching. In the second part of the programme, selected samples, derived from ongoing NERC programmes, will be analysed to assess the utility of the different matching approaches and to provide preliminary data on the role that proteomics that might play in studying such problems.
