Unveiling the ‘functionome’: Online resource describes functions of more than 20,000 human genes

For the first time, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and other institutions used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on human genes with genetic data collected from other organisms.
