Cloning Of A Key Group Of Human Genes, The Protein Kinases, Reported

Friday, May 2, 2008 - 10:28 in Biology & Nature

Although the human genome has been sequenced, research into mechanism of action of genes has been hampered by the fact that most human genes have not been isolated. In a study in Cell, scientists report cloning of nearly all predicted human protein kinase genes in functional form, and generation of a corresponding set of kinases lacking catalytic activity that are necessary for functional studies.
