06.08.2001 | Science | Begging for Bioinformatics | Two bioinformatics companies are hoping the Canadian government will join their bid to create a massive new public database on protein interactions. | 52. Genetic Banks and Databases |
04.05.2001 | New York Times | Three Companies Will Try to Identify All Human Proteins | Three companies announced a project to spend up to half a billion dollars to identify all the proteins in the human body and all the interactions between those proteins. | |
03.08.2001 | Nature | Canada increases support for genome initiative | Federal funding for Genome Canada, the non-profit-making corporation that aims to make Canada a world leader in genomics research, has been increased to support research and development in five new regional centres. The centres will focus on activities such as functional genomics, genomics sequencing, genotyping, functional proteomics and bioinformatics. Ethical, legal and societal issues related to these fields will also be studied. | 32. Genome Project and Genomics |
02.15.2001 | Nature | And now for the proteome. . . | A group of top-level proteomics researchers has launched a global Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO). HUPO's founders see it as a post-genomic analogue of the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO). Its mission will be to increase awareness of, and support for, large-scale protein analysis, in scientific, political and financial circles. | |
01.04.2001 | Nature | Large Scale Proteomics, based in Rockville, Maryland, this week launched the Human Proteome Index, a database which subscribers can use to help identify proteins involved in diseases. The HPI will only be available commercially mainly to companies interested in finding markers of tissue damage or disease. | ||
01.25.2001 | Nature | Partnership seeks to build super computer for proteomics | Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico, Compaq Computer Corporation and Celera Genomics last week joined forces to build a supercomputer tailored to proteomics. The Department of Energy will provide the project with $10 million over four years that can perform 100 trillion operations per second. | |
12.21.2000 | Nature | Genomics: Beyond the book of life | This article provides a “year-in-review” of genetic achievements, beginning with the announcement of the working draft of the human genome. It then proceeds to discuss the significances of other sequencing milestones and the transition from sequencing to functional genomics. It ends with a speculation of future challenges in structural biology and proteomics. | 32. Genome Project |
11.08.2000 | Washington Post | Proteomics on Parade | Proteomics, the cataloguing and analysis of the body's proteins, is bioscience's most important post-genomics area of study. |
