The Bright Future of Peptidomics.

In this final chapter I project my personal perspective on the future of peptidomics. A bird's eye view is shed on the discipline and a bid is made to frame it in the broader arena of the life sciences of tomorrow. Inferring from its present state-of-the-art and from the general direction of some evolutionary trends which are to be discerned, a case is made that peptidomics enjoys full ripeness as a young branch of science today, from which a bright future for the discipline can be predicted.
