Research accelerates discovery of novel gene function
July 30th, 2004
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have developed a new technique for rapidly identifying the functions of genes. The high-throughput technique can be used in both cell culture and in animal models to screen thousands of genes for a particular biological function. It provides a method for the rapid development of a cDNA library, which would contain protein-encoding sequences of DNA. Researchers then can use the library to analyze a specific gene function. The report appears in the July 2004 issue of Molecular Therapy, the American Society of Gene Therapy's journal. "All the genes in the human genome...
