Mining high-throughput experimental data to link gene and function.

Abstract excerpt

Nearly 2200 genomes that encode around 6 million proteins have now been sequenced. Around 40% of these proteins are of unknown function, even when function is loosely and minimally defined as 'belonging to a superfamily'. In addition to in silico methods, the swelling stream of high-throughput experimental data can give valuable clues for linking these unknowns with precise biological roles. The goal is to...
