Methods and systems of proteome analysis and imaging

Abstract

Provided herein are methods and systems for proteome analysis that are at least partially automated and/or performed robotically. In some aspects, the methods and systems described herein can rapidly and efficiently provide protein identification of each of the proteins from a proteome, or a complement of proteins, obtained from extremely small amounts of biological samples. The identified proteins can be imaged quantitatively over a spatial region. Automation and robotics facilitates the throughput of the methods and systems, which enables protein imaging and/or rapid proteome analysis.
