Proteomics has particularly evolved to become of high interest for the field of biomarker discovery and drug development. Especially the combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has proven to be a powerful technique for analyzing protein mixtures. Clinically orientated proteomic studies will have to compare hundreds of LC/MS runs at a time. In order to compare different runs, sophisticated preprocessing steps have to be performed. An important step is the retention time (rt) alignment of LC/MS runs. Especially non-linear shifts in the rt between pairs of LC/MS runs make this a crucial and non-trivial problem.
