More proof you can do proteomics on anything - let's tackle kidney disease in cats!

 


I swear, it wasn't that long ago when you could do mediocre proteomics in humans, mice, poplar trees, E.coli and everything else seemed completely impossible. You could argue that even the .fasta databases in rats even a few years ago were rough and made it hard to do anything.

How is the cat genome? I'm guessing it hasn't gotten 1% of the effort the model organisms have. And here is high depth proteomics of cat urine. There is a word in the methods section which will make you wonder "how do they get cat pee?" Don't look it up! But otherwise this is a great proof of concept of how wide the applications of proteomics can be today!
