BGI has extensive experience in the field of metaproteomics spanning microorganisms research across human fecal samples, water samples, and fermentation liquor samples.

Service Description

Since its inception in 2004, metaproteomics aims at the large-scale characterization of all proteins expressed by environmental microbiota at a given point in time, which can better promote the in-depth study of the diversity, structure and potential gene function of the microbial community1.

Metaproteomics

DDA analysis can be carried out if there are no suitable library construction samples:

Project Workflow

DIA analysis can be carried out if there are suitable library construction samples:
