The ability to sequence human genomes has changed our understanding of disease, but characterization of proteins proves to be an even richer source of knowledge, opening new avenues for innovative therapies. The human genome encodes our genes, which serve as blueprints for production of proteins. Proteins perform essential functions in the body and become deregulated…
