A new study attempts to amplify and clone all the predicted protein-encoding open reading frames (ORFs) for Caenorhabditis elegans. This analysis confirms many of the predicted genes but suggests roughly 50% of them require correction. Recombining the ORFs into a number of different expression systems can generate functional proteomics kits for characterizing protein activity and interaction networks.
