ProteoMetrics releases SonarMS/MS for proteome mapping and genome annotation
SonarMS/MS is designed specifically for the needs of protein identification automation, using breakthrough concepts and designs to make protein identification easier.
By on Mar 22, 2001SonarMS/MS is designed specifically for the needs of protein identification automation, using breakthrough concepts and designs to make protein identification easier.
In addition, the SonarMS/MS is designed to take a protein/EST/chromosome segment and look at a compilation of mass spectra to see whether the evidence for that particular sequence is positive. The engine then displays the results using a graphical representation of the MS/MS data for quick interpretation. ProteoMetrics claim the engine ensures quality control by analyzing the data statistically to determine which results are significant.
The SonarMS/MS also incorporates expectation value scoring, which was developed specifically for automating protein identification and allows decisions to be made on an objective statistical measure, rather than on the judgement of an operator.
"We set about constructing SonarMS/MS specifically to fill the needs of high-throughput environments that require searching of genomic information," said Ron Beavis, President of ProteoMetrics, Canada.
