About
Annemarie Poustka is a pioneering figure in functional genomics and proteomics, best known for her leadership in large-scale cDNA sequencing and characterization. As a key member of the German Consortium and the German cDNA Network, she spearheaded efforts to systematically assign function to thousands of novel genes. Her landmark work involved tagging 800 cDNAs with green fluorescent protein (GFP) to visualize their subcellular localizations in living cells, enabling the classification of proteins into distinct cellular compartments. This high-throughput approach bridged the gap between genomic sequence data and biological function, providing a foundational resource for the scientific community. Her most cited papers, including "cDNAs for functional genomics and proteomics" (2003, 21 citations) and "The German cDNA Network" (2003, 16 citations), reflect her role in advancing the post-genomic era. Poustka’s contributions have had lasting impact on how researchers study protein function and localization, making her a central figure in the transition from genome sequencing to functional annotation.
