Most people think about their genes as being uniquely identifiable to them. But new research by a team including Matthew DeCamp, MD, PhD, and Marilyn Coors, PhD, shows that your "proteome," the full set of proteins that are made from your genes, and include everything from blood cells to neurons to proteins like insulin - are just as unique.
