Biodiversity in population proteomic studies. Population proteomics allows the analysis of protein biodiversity within a population. Because it is known that individual variation, such as the presence of point mutations and varying protein abundances, will be present in all human studies (as depicted by the different chromatograms), it has become essential to develop high throughput, sensitive analytical applications to enable measurements necessary for personalized medicine.
