摘要
As genome sequences and protein structures are deciphered, we wish to predict their corresponding functions. Many functions cannot be told from the sequence, however, although there has been progress in this quest for an impossible Grail. Furthermore, a structure and its corresponding sequence become most interesting when one knows the function. Inductive reasoning, based on the integration of biological and sequence knowledge, should enable sequence and functional data to be combined in a productive way.
