Abstract:
Whole-genome expression profiles provide a rich new data-trove for bioinformatics. Initial analyses of the profiles have included clustering and cross-referencing to 'external' information on protein structure and function. Expression profile clusters do relate to protein function, but the correlation is not perfect, with the discrepancies partially resulting from the difficulty in consistently defining function. Other attributes of proteins can also be related to expression-in particular, structure and localization-and sometimes show a clearer relationship than function.
