A decade on from the completion of Human Genome, Protein Atlas, a multinational research project supported by non-profit Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, recently launched (November 6, 2014) an open source tissue-based interactive map human proteome. team multidisciplinary researchers with expertise spanning biotechnology, information technology, medicine have used combination several 'omics technologies to proteins down single cell level, showing both restricted certain tissues—such as brain, heart, or liver—and those present in all tissues. It has taken this over 1,000 person years compile searchable, database (www.proteinatlas.org) comprising 13 million annotated images The is aimed at interested basic into biology well working translational medicine. In webinar, three involved program will provide their insights regarding lessons learned intensive effort View Webinar
