Stop smoking, keep walking, . . . and other stories
The human genome encodes approximately 20 000 proteins. Understandably enough, investigations have concentrated on genes and proteins whose function is known.However, thehuman “unknome,” the one fifth of humangeneswhosepurpose remains mysterious, shouldn’t be ignored. Many of these genes are conserved across species. In experiments with fruit flies, removing one of these mystery genes caused the insects to die. The compilers of a new database of genes with unknown functions hope it will widen the focus of genetic research (PLoS Biol doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.3002222).
