Abstract: The present invention features computer methods and systems for comparing biomolecules across biological samples. In these methods, mass spectrometry measurements are obtained on biomolecules in two or more samples. These measurements are then processed and analyzed by the methods described herein to render them more comparable. We refer to this technology as “Constellation Mapping” (CM). The resulting data, constellation maps, can be used to compare the abundance of biomolecules across samples, and, when done in real time, can be used to select differentially abundant biomolecules for subsequent LC/MS-MS.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to computer automated methods and systems for identifying and characterizing biomolecules in a biological sample. Mass spectrometry measurements are obtained on biomolecules in a sample. These measurements are analyzed to determine the abundance of the biomolecules in the sample, and the abundance measurements are coupled with one or more distinguishing characteristics of biomolecules they are associated with, thereby permitting computer-mediated comparison of abundances of biomolecules from multiple biological samples.
