Abstract

Read online

The Human Proteome Project aims to catalogue the ∼20,000 proteins encoded by the human genome. In this review, Bakeret al. focus on the missing proteins, proteins that lack high stringency proteomic evidence, and launch MissingProteinPedia, a database aimed at accelerating the search for missing proteins.
