Changed rating to "high" as this is an overview of protein families; it is a stub right now and should be expanded to include a list of known protein families etc. - tameeria 22:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

It's a start, but there's a lot left to do

  • discus other notions of family such as structural family (don't want a religous war here), and enzymatic family (e.g., EC nomenclature)
  • pictures showing the relation between sequence conservation and structure?
  • list of major families, numbers, and occurence in taxonomic groups
  • could add discussion of homeomorphic superfamily
  • better list of domain and motif resources
  • use and importance is a placeholder
  • methods is a place holder
  • list of protein families should probably point at list of gene families, although that page is still pretty basic

I hope to be able to get back to this soon, bear with me Gribskov 13:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
