Abstract

One of the challenges for 'post-genomic' biology is the integration of data from many different sources. Two recent studies independently take steps towards this goal for Escherichia coli, using mathematical modeling and a combination of gene expression and protein levels to predict new gene functions and metabolic behaviors.
