Place of pattern in proteomic biomarker discovery
The role of pattern in biomarker discovery and clinical diagnosis is examined in its historical
context. The use of MS-derived pattern is treated as a logical extension of prior applications
of non-MS-derived pattern. Criticisms pertaining to specific technology platforms and
analytic methodologies are considered separately from the larger issues of pattern utility and
deployment in biomarker discovery. We present a hybrid strategy that marries the desirable
attributes of high-information content MS pattern with the capability to obtain identity, and …

The use of MS-derived pattern is treated as a logical extension of prior applications of non-MS-derived pattern. Criticisms pertaining to specific technology platforms and analytic methodologies are considered separately from the larger issues of pattern utility and deployment in biomarker discovery. We present a hybrid strategy that marries the desirable attributes of high-information content MS pattern with the capability to obtain identity, and explore the key steps in establishing a data analysis pipeline for pattern-based biomarker discovery.
