Schematic representation of phyloproteomic analysis. The process involves two steps. The first is the algorithmic sorting of the m/z values into derived (exists in some but not all specimens) and ancestral (in all specimens); the derived values are those signifying either novel, vanished, or up and down regulated peaks. The second step is a parsimony phylogenetic analysis that groups the specimens on the basis of the shared derived values.
