MIAPE Releases First Set of Guidelines for Reporting Three Types of Proteomic Data
After five years of planning, the Proteomic Standards Initiative of the Human Proteome Organization last week released the first set of modules meant to serve as guidelines for how and what researchers should report about experiments. The guidelines cover mass spectrometry, mass spectrometry informatics, and gel electrophoresis.

ISB Team Develops SPR-based Method to Quantitatively Analyze Proteins in Serum
The method was developed by researchers at the Institute for Systems Biology, including Leroy Hood, to address a major challenge to proteomics: detecting and quantifying specific proteins in complex biological mixtures.

Proteomics Pioneer
Heart Researcher Will Use Mass Spec to Hunt Protein Signatures in Sudden Death Syndrome
Antonio López-Farré of the Hospital Universitario Clínico San Carlos in Madrid, Spain, will use the technology to look for protein signatures linked to sudden death syndrome. Genetic factors are one cause of the ailment but elicit no symptoms, making diagnosis especially challenging. López-Farré believes proteomics may find clues to the disease that genomics may not.
