Proteomics for exotic organisms

Genetically Engineered Organisms and Exotic Species

In 1987, a report by the National Academy of Sciences stated " an urgent need for the scientific community to provide guidance to both investigators and regulators in evaluating planned introductions of modified organisms from an ecological perspective " (39). This chapter incorporates such a perspective and focuses on a number of ecological issues relevant to the planned introduction of geneti...

General Proteomics of Microorganisms/model Organisms

Quantitative proteomics by metabolic labeling of model organisms.

In the biological sciences, model organisms have been used for many decades and have enabled the gathering of a large proportion of our present day knowledge of basic biological processes and their derailments in disease. Although in many of these studies using model organisms, the focus has primarily been on genetics and genomics approaches, it is important that methods become available to ext...

Challenges for biological interpretation of environmental proteomics data in non-model organisms.

Environmental physiology, toxicology, and ecology and evolution stand to benefit substantially from the relatively recent surge of "omics" technologies into these fields. These approaches, and proteomics in particular, promise to elucidate novel and integrative functional responses of organisms to diverse environmental challenges, over a variety of time scales and at different levels of organiz...

Pharmaceutical Advances and Proteomics Researches

Proteomics enables understanding the composition, structure, function and interactions of the entire protein complement of a cell, a tissue, or an organism under exactly defined conditions. Some factors such as stress or drug effects will change the protein pattern and cause the present or absence of a protein or gradual variation in abundances. Changes in the proteome provide a snapshot of the...
