One Step Beyond: Going Beyond Genomics With Proteomics And Two-Dimensional Gel Technology
Laura Defrancesco | Jan 3, 1999 | 10+ min read
Proteomes and 2D Gel Apparatus Providers Big science has moved on to proteins. With the new brand of science termed proteomics--named by the Australians Marc Wilkins and Keith Williams to mean the "set of PROTEins encoded by the genOME"--the push is on around the globe to produce a complete description of a cell/tissue/organism in terms of the proteins produced. The challenge is all the greater because the expressed protein pattern changes with time and environment--responding to developmenta
