Refinement of peptides. Unique Peptides (UP) were identified by selecting the peptides that had an exact hit in BLAST against the NCBI non-redundant database. These peptides were refined by selecting the consensus of peptides in all biological triplicates (Rep ∩ 1 ∩ 2 ∩ 3) followed by selecting the peptides that are not present in non-Clostridium botulinum species (Non-CBOT). The final phase selects only those peptides that are present in all six C. botulinum strains (All strains). We have labelled these peptides as 'Biomarkers'.
