Genome-based peptide fingerprint scanning is a method used in proteomics to identify and characterize proteins based on the peptides they produce. The approach typically involves several key steps: 1. **Genomic Sequencing**: The genome of an organism is sequenced to identify the DNA sequences that code for proteins (genes). 2. **Protein Prediction**: Using bioinformatics tools, the genomic data is analyzed to predict the protein coding sequences and the corresponding peptides.
