ProteomeBinders: planning a European resource of affinity reagents for analysis of the human proteome

A Corrigendum to this article was published on 01 February 2007

This article has been updated

ProteomeBinders is a new European consortium aiming to establish a comprehensive resource of well-characterized affinity reagents, including but not limited to antibodies, for analysis of the human proteome. Given the huge diversity of the proteome, the scale of the project is potentially immense but nevertheless feasible in the context of a pan-European or even worldwide coordination. NOTE: In the version of the article originally published, Manfred Koegl’s name was misspelled. Additionally, Zoltan Konthur's affiliation was listed incorrectly; it should be Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, 14195 Berlin, Germany. These errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
