Significant Landmarks
J. Craig Venter
Joint announcement
Future application
Proteomics
Study of the structure and function of proteins Proteome=the entire complement of proteins of a given organism More complex than genome
Changes in response to environment One gene => hundreds (or even thousands) of different proteins Post-translational modification
Significant Landmarks
