Your Testicles Are Home To 999 Unique Proteins, Royal Institute Of Technology Study

First, there was the Human Genome project, which mapped the approximately 20,000 different genes contained in each cell of our bodies, and now there is the Human Protein Atlas (or what might be called the Human Proteome project), which is an inventory of all the proteins produced by our bodies.
