Nature. 425:2003;686-691 This article describes the construction and analysis of yeast strains expressing full-length, chromosomally tagged green fluorescent protein fusion proteins, representing 75% of the yeast proteome. The authors provide localization information for 70% of previously unlocalized proteins. Analysis of this dataset will help to define the functions of proteins in the context of the cellular environment.
