Not only can it be used to map interacting protein domains, it can also be used to screen cDNA libraries with a desired bait to identify novel binding partners. A number of factors including ease of use, cost effectiveness and suitability for high throughput analysis have made yeast-two hybrid one of the assays of choice for defining protein-protein interaction networks or interactomes for a range of organisms. The focus of this review is on the definition of viral interactomes using the yeast two-hybrid assay and the relevance of such studies to our understanding of viral pathogenesis.", pages = "225-231(7)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ben/cp/2005/00000002/00000003/art00004" doi = "doi:10.2174/157016405774641138" }
