Genomeweb article on the Myriad proteomics effort -

"Their technical approach is focused on the structural interactions between pairs of proteins, rather than changes in protein amounts that are the basis of disease and drug effects," said Leigh Anderson, CEO of Large Scale Proteomics, a Gaithersburg, Md.-based subsidiary of Large Scale Biology that is studying protein expression levels. "Hence the Myriad deal only covers one niche in the human proteome, and one that we would argue is clearly of secondary interest in comparison to expression."
But Myriad scientists responded that they already have an idea of which genes or proteins are associated with particular diseases, and that mapping out the interactions of these proteins will allow them to identify proteins more promising as drug targets...
