  • Publication number: 20050048547
    Abstract: A method for identification of biological characteristics is achieved by collecting a data set relating to individuals having known biological characteristics and analyzing the data set to identify biomarkers potentially relating to selected biological state classes. A system for identification of biological characteristics is also provided. A methodology is also provided for utilizing mass spectroscopy data to identify peptide and protein biomarkers that can be used to optimally discriminate experimental from control samples—where the experimental samples may, for instance, be derived from patients with various diseases such as ovarian cancer.
