Genome
Complete
set of
DNA
Comprises
of
coding
and
non-coding
regions
20-25,000 genes
in the
human genome
Proteome
Entire
set of
proteins
that can be
expressed
from a
genome
250k-1 million
proteins
much
larger
than the
genome
Intron
Non-coding region
of
RNA
Exons
Coding regions
of
RNA
Why is the
proteome larger
?
Alternative RNA splicing
Not
all
genes
are
expressed
as
proteins
in a
particular cell type.
The
set
of
proteins expressed
by a
given
cell
type
can
vary
over
time
and
under
different
conditions.
Post-translational modification.
