How to find "missing" genes.
Assigning function to "new" proteins is frequently the rate-determining step for deciphering metabolic pathways and regulatory networks. Osterman and Begley break down this barrier by demonstrating that comparative analyses of microbial genomes is a powerful strategy for identifying pathway components.
