Proteomic profiles of benthopelagic deep-sea copepods

In this study we used in parallel morphological, genetic, and
proteomic charac­teristics of specimens of calanoid copepods from the
abyssal South Atlantic to test if proteomic fingerprinting by
matrix-assisted can accelerate estimating biodiversity. We
cross-validated the respective molecular discrimi­nation methods with
morphological identifications to establish COI and proteomic reference
libraries. This data set includes all information on MALDI-TOF.
