The authors coordinate the E. coli genome sequence with 2D gel electrophoresis, finding interesting differences between predicted open reading frames and post-translational protein results. They also map subcellular locations, testing sequence-based predictions.

The authors experimentally identify genes missed by computational gene-finding methods employed in the S. cerevisiae genome project. Noncoding RNAs and small open reading frames were frequently overlooked using computational methods.

The authors used serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to characterize the entire S. cerevisiae genome. The integration of postitional information with gene expression data allowed for the generation of chromosomal expression maps identifying physical regions of transcriptional activity and identified genes that had not been predicted by sequence information alone.
