How has genome sequencing changed the landscape of gene mapping? How do we use model organisms, like zebrafish, to locate specific genes involved in human biology?

Mapping our genesMirroring the exponential growth in computer-chip capabilities, rapid advances in genetic mapping by companies in Silicon Valley and elsewhere are helping scientists do everything ...

In a genetic screen, mapping allows scientists to link genes to their functions. To better understand how a genetic screen works, it helps to consider an example experiment.

New research by UCSF scientists could accelerate – by 10 to 100-fold – the pace of many efforts to profile gene activity, ranging from basic research into how to build new tissues from stem cells to ...

Plant Gene Mapping May Lead To Better Biofuel Production Date: April 20, 2009 Source: DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory Summary: By creating a "family tree" of genes expressed in one form of ...

Michelle Daya receives funding from the National Research Foundation of South Africa. The fight against tuberculosis (TB) has been extended through the use of a genetic mapping technique called ...

Who do you talk to?" said Judy West. In fact, for many who choose to undergo genetic testing, specific tests may uncover gene mutations that can show an increased risk for a particular disease.

Mapping these networks is important because they can help explain why mutations in two different immune genes might lead to the same disease, or how a drug might have an impact on many immune ...

New study could make it much easier for physicians to use the genetic profile of a patient’s tumor to pick the chemotherapy treatment with the fewest side effects and best chance of success.

Gene Mapping Key To Unlocking Human Secrets, Says Geneticist Date: May 26, 2003 Source: Texas A&M University Summary: “Community, Identity, Stability,” describe the Brave New World conceived ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease.
