Proteomics in Genomeland

Proteomics--the large-scale analysis of a cell9s proteins--will come to supplant genomics as the focus of biological research, according to Fields in a lively Future Directions9 article. New technologies combined with traditional molecular strategies are revealing what proteins do, what they interact with, and what modifications they carry. Looking to the future, even better technologies and closer collaborations between scientific disciplines will be needed to mine, analyze, and compare proteomics data.
