The Global Proteome Machine was set up so that scientists involved in proteomics using tandem mass spectrometry could use that data to analyze proteomes. This project is supported by the GPMO to improve the quality of analysis, make the results portable and to provide a common platform for testing and validating proteomics results.
The GPM is currently configured to use the following proteomes:
All Unigene resources (plant + Xenopus sp. + human + mouse + rat + cow) are updated every Monday evening, at 22:00 CST. Bacterial genomes are updated once a month, on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, with the update being complete by 20:00 CST.
