pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov is the page AI reaches for most here, cited in 38% of analyzed answers.
Emerged as a top recommendation since Nov 2025 for its Seurat toolkit.
Became a dominant Python-based recommendation starting in late 2025.
Shifted from #1 rank to #7 between Oct 2025 and Mar 2026.
Dropped from #3 to #14 in overall mentions, though still prominent for fume hoods.
“A specific, recommended platform for protein biomarkers” → “One of several multiplex assay platforms mentioned in comparative reviews”

Parse measures each brand's mention rate — the share of answers naming it — across 906 AI responses to this market's buyer questions. Answers are collected daily and the ranking is published weekly.
Brands enter the ranking when AI answers mention them. Parse collects answers daily and publishes the re-measured set weekly, so new brands appear as AI starts recommending them.
AI initially recommended specific platforms like Olink for biomarker-to-assay mapping. From November 2025, responses grew more comparative, listing multiple technologies and databases like BALDR and PandaOmics, often referencing research studies that benchmark different platforms against each other.
