Bioinformatics in the human interactome project

Abstract
In the early days of the Human Interactome Project, a meeting was organized…’. Perhaps, a few years from now, newspapers will describe in those terms how straightforward it was to plan the large-scale mapping of protein interactions in human and other model organisms. Scientists attending the second Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory/Wellcome Trust symposium on ‘Interactome Networks’1 know well that things are not that easy. Important scientific, technical and sociological issues remain before the ‘Human Interactome Project’ can be considered on its way. But things are definitely moving.
