Title: Reflections on the HUPO Human Proteome Project, the Flagship Project of the Human Proteome Organization, at 10 Years.

Authors: Omenn, Gilbert S

Published In Mol Cell Proteomics, (2021)

Abstract: We celebrate the 10th anniversary of the launch of the HUPO Human Proteome Project (HPP) and its major milestone of confident detection of at least one protein from each of 90% of the predicted protein-coding genes, based on the output of the entire proteomics community. The Human Genome Project reached a similar decadal milestone 20 years ago. The HPP has engaged proteomics teams around the world, strongly influenced data-sharing, enhanced quality assurance, and issued stringent guidelines for claims of detecting previously "missing proteins." This invited perspective complements papers on "A High-Stringency Blueprint of the Human Proteome" and "The Human Proteome Reaches a Major Milestone" in special issues of Nature Communications and Journal of Proteome Research, respectively, released in conjunction with the October 2020 virtual HUPO Congress and its celebration of the 10th anniversary of the HUPO HPP.
