From a pinhole to a panorama
To create a more transformative view of the proteome, we had to create a new technology—one that provides a path for researchers to survey without bias the millions of proteoforms (protein variants) thought to exist within individuals and across populations. To accomplish this, robust measurements must be done across orders of magnitude of protein abundance and across populations over time – with a methodology that is both rapid and scalable. While technologies exist today that can provide one or more of these attributes, Seer is expected to be the first to combine them all into a single, efficient workflow.
