| Comments | P.520 left column 2nd paragraph: "Considering their broad importance in signal transduction, it is not surprising that protein kinases are one of the largest families of genes in eukaryotes — making up ~2% of the genome — and have been extensively studied [primary sources]." Primary sources [1], [3] & [4] studied human, mouse & yeast, respectively |
