… Finally, the project issues small monetary awards (COMBREX grants) to biologists to
fund the experimental testing of such predictions. In this paper, we provide a brief review of
COMBREX, focusing on its overall design, its computational resources, and the
experimental results from the first phase of the project. Overview of COMBREX …

Prior to the ''genomic era,''when the acquisition of DNA sequence involved significant labor
and expense, the sequencing of genes was strongly linked to the experimental
characterization of their products. Sequencing at that time directly resulted from the need to
understand an
