摘要

When a draft of the human genome was announced in 2000, funders, governments, industry and researchers made grand promises about how genome-based discoveries would revolutionize science. They promised that it would transform our understanding of human biology and disease, and provide new targets for drug discovery. Yet more than 75% of protein research still focuses on the 10% of proteins that were known before the genome was mapped - even though many more have been genetically linked to disease. We performed a bibliometric analysis to assess how research activity has altered over time for three protein families that are central in disease and drug discovery: kinases, ion channels and nuclear receptors. For all three, we found very little change in the pattern of research activity - which proteins are associated with the highest number of publications - over the past 20 years. Even those proteins that have been directly associated with disease remain 'hidden in plain sight', with scientists proving very reluctant to study them.
