Educational Publications
Proteomics: a pragmatic perspective is a recent article from Nature Biotechnology. It is a guide intended for those new to Proteomics, and is helpful for setting realistic expectations for your Proteomics experiment. It discusses issues such as how much protein you need to do an experiment, how many proteins you can reasonably expect to find, and rough ideas of how complicated it will be to get certain types of results.
Challenges for proteomics core facilities is an overview of the difficulties many labs like PSR struggle with on a day-to-day basis. It covers topics like quality control, data archiving, and funding.
