Scientists develop IPHOMED to map proteins in stool, aiding diagnosis of gut disorders.

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science have developed a new method called IPHOMED to map proteins from the human body, gut microbiome, and food in stool samples. This technique, combining DNA sequencing and mass spectrometry, offers precise insights into diet and potential triggers for diseases. The method has revealed new antimicrobial peptides and could aid in diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal disorders.
