mRNA level and protein level correlation?

[Peter Frank]

Dr. Hiranya S. Roychowdhury:

>More often than not, one can hardly correlate transcript levels with proteins

>physically (spatially) or temporally to translation.  Protein levels may also 
>be controlled post-transcriptionally according to the system's needs and also 
>according to the "feed-stock" available.  These factors need to be addressed 
>through independent experiments. 

I'll take that into consideration.
