Analysis of the human protein interactome and comparison with yeast, worm and fly interaction datasets.

We present the first analysis of the human proteome with regard to interactions between proteins. We also compare the human interactome with the available interaction datasets from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), worm (Caenorhabditis elegans) and fly (Drosophila melanogaster). Of >70,000 binary interactions, only 42 were common to human, worm and fly, and only 16 were common to all four datasets.

Proteomic resources: integrating biomedical information in humans.

Recent improvements in high-throughput proteomic technologies have unleashed the potential for generating vast amounts of data. Managing and sharing proteomic data is not an easy task. In this article, we will discuss some of the high-throughput proteomic techniques that are commonly used today.

Plasma Proteome Database as a resource for proteomics research.

Plasma is one of the best studied compartments in the human body and serves as an ideal body fluid for the diagnosis of diseases. This report provides a detailed functional annotation of all the plasma proteins identified to date. In all, gene products encoded by 3778 distinct genes were annotated based on proteins previously published in the literature as plasma proteins and the identification of multiple peptides from proteins under HUPO's Plasma Proteome Project.
