Description: [...] funding and peerreview systems are risk-averse; funders and reviewers alike are less willing to support research on unstudied proteins, for which it is often harder to explain the rationale and significance. [...] the time frames associated with academic promotion and training encourage researchers to focus on systems that are likely to generate results rapidly, and for which research infrastructure and methods are already available.
