Non-Conventional and Non-Model Organism Proteomics

Model organisms have been used to help us understand fundamental biological processes for over a century. Non-model species may now be examined using the same advanced bioanalytical toolbox as model organisms, thanks to advances in genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation. Proteomics is an example of a technique that uses predicted protein sequences to catalog and evaluate complex proteomes in tissues and biofluids. Biomimicry studies, biomedical developments, veterinary medicine, agricultural research, behavioral ecology, and food safety can all benefit from applying proteomics to non-model organisms. We may research practically any species in this postmodel organism era, which means that many non-model organisms are crucial emergent model organisms. Proteomics is more accessible than ever before, and it will continue to progress significantly in the future years, enabling hitherto unachievable study and discoveries in non-model organisms. Proteomics in non-model organisms has a lot of potential, and the technical hurdles aren't too high. A recent large-scale proteomic analysis that cataloged 340 000 proteins from 100 species is the best example of this. Non-model organism proteomic investigations will undoubtedly become more widespread in the future. Once the molecular landscape in species spanning the tree of life can be defined, the next step is to identify non-model organism specialists.
