Project description:Kidney proteomes of Rufous-collared sparrows from two different areas of the Atacama desert (Chile) were identified and compared by bottom-up proteomics utilizing nanoUPLC coupled online to tandem mass spectrometry. All experiments and sample collections were performed by the team of Dr. Paulina Gonzalez-Gomez. Proteomics sample preparation and biological mass spectrometry were performed in the laboratory of Prof. Dietmar Kueltz at UC Davis.
