There are some recent startups (Glyphic Bio out of MIT, and Jonathan Rothberg's Quantum-Si) that are tackling next-gen protein sequencing. I'm eager to see what they can do once they're widely available.


I’m particularly excited about nanopore protein sequencing. I don’t think there are any startups yet but the technology is commercially available for DNA sequencing.


There’s some very recent progress in the area!
