19 Dec 2006 – Launch of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy Project |
|
|
|
In order to understand how proteins perform their necessary functions in living cells, a better and more detailed understanding of function and protein-protein interactions is required, to ultimately help researchers to design therapeutic strategies. |

16 Nov 2006 – Launch of Fiocruz Genome Comparison Project |
|
|
|
This project will perform a pairwise comparison between all predicted proteins in complete genomes available in the public DNA databases. When scientists study a new protein, they look for similar, better-understood proteins as a guide to their function. This in combination with other information will help annotate these genomes leading to faster and better understanding of cellular function and infectious agent relationships. |
