Metaproteomics Consulting
This consulting service supports researchers in planning and executing metaproteomics projects, covering the entire workflow from experimental design to bioinformatic analysis and interpretation. Support includes both wet-lab planning (e.g. sample handling, study design, metadata collection, common pitfalls) and computational analysis (e.g. database strategy, peptide/protein identification and quantification, quality control, statistics, and reporting). Consulting and analysis services are offered free of charge for scientific users.
