Explain how proteomics is considered by some to be even more important than genome sequencing
What will be an ideal response?
There are limits to what genome sequencing can tell us about an organism. It has been said by some
that the genome sequences are like a dictionary; the dictionary can tell you words, but it doesn't tell
you how a language is used. The proteomics field seeks to determine how all of the proteins expressed
in a cell work together. This will help us understand how the cells actually function and tell us which
genes are being expressed and for what purpose. If the genome is a dictionary, then the proteome is a
novel.
