Understanding complex systems often requires a bottom-up analysis towards a systems
biology approach. The need to investigate a system, not only as individual components but …

While the number of sequenced genomes continues to grow, experimentally verified
functional annotation of whole genomes remains patchy. Structural genomics projects are …

Current yeast interactome network maps contain several hundred molecular complexes with
limited and somewhat controversial representation of direct binary interactions. We carried …

Abstract The Biological General Repository for Interaction Datasets (BioGRID) database
(http://www. thebiogrid. org) was developed to house and distribute collections of protein …

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have roles in the regulation of many post-transcriptional steps
in gene expression, but relatively few RBPs have been systematically studied. We searched …

Gene duplication and loss is a powerful source of functional innovation. However, the
general principles that govern this process are still largely unknown. With the growing …

Identification of essential proteins is key to understanding the minimal requirements for
cellular life and important for drug design. The rapid increase of available protein-protein …
