A milestone for the HPA effort was achieved with the inclusion of expression data for approximately 50% of human protein-coding genes. This was achieved in 2010 and an updated portal was launched. An important new feature was a cancer view. In addition, a new concept for subcellular localization of proteins using confocal microscopy was described.
