Example sentencesExamples
- During the past decade research in the field of molecular biology has gradually shifted from the analysis of single genes to the analysis of whole genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes.
- Genome-wide surveys for simple sequences have shown that these low-complexity sequences are the most commonly shared peptide fragments in eukaryotic proteomes.
- A major task for the postgenomic era is to characterize the full protein complement, i.e. the proteome, for organisms.
- Thus, microarrays of an entire eukaryotic proteome can be prepared and screened for diverse biochemical activities.
- The observed toxin phylogeny is, thus, consistent with both single and multiple recruitments of these proteins into the venom proteome.
