New human tissue protein map provide insights into disease
By Erika Hunting, Stanford University, USA
Unraveling the genetic basis of many human diseases is a daunting task. However, understanding where the products of disease-related genes act can provide clues into disease formation. Read how the new comprehensive normal human tissue proteomics map generated by the Snyder lab at Stanford University School of Medicine shed light on the symptoms of genetic diseases such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome and Leigh syndrome.
