Many of our shows this year have explored a new wave of proteomics tools and research.  So today, we wanted to get a snapshot of the field of proteomics, and to do that, we turned to John Yates III, Ernest W. Hahn Professor at The Scripps Research Institute.  John was on the proteomics side of the famous Lee Hood lab in the 1980s.  The most exciting work to come out of Hood’s lab was the first automated DNA sequencer commercialized by Applied Biosystems and led by Mike Hunkapillar, also from the lab.
