A novel bioinformatics approach for classifying proteins according to similarity of function, rather than of sequence, is described in the April 12 PNAS. Albert Y. Lau and Daniel I. Chasman of Variagenics say that that their approach could be used to construct a database that would allow experimental confirmation of genomic sequences with unknown function. But other researchers questioned the practical applications of the work and suggested it was merely an extension of techniques currently used.
