title: Protein database of Caenorhabditis elegans.
abstract: Whole genome sequencing of the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a prominent achievement in genomics and uncovers the existence of enormous known and unknown gene products. Characterization and linking of all gene products are the next challenging theme of biology. Genome-wide researches are already progressing on C. elegans and the fruits of these efforts are accessible through the internet. To link the sequence-function relationship, proteomic research has been applied to provide comprehensive information of the worm proteins. In addition to 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis for visualization of the proteome, recent advances in liquid chromatography (LC)-based technologies have allowed the large-scale analysis of proteins and are at cutting-edge of high-throughput analysis of focused proteome.
