For each transcript, all the UniGenes that are included in its region were considered for further functional analysis.
Further functional studies are required to understand its true function.
However, as with all such predictions regarding driver genes, definitive evidence can only be provided by further functional studies.
Often gene functions of chicken genes were annotated based on sequence conservation without further functional evidence.
These findings warrant further functional investigation.
Further functional studies suggested the biological relevance of these lesions to the NPC malignant phenotype.
But their detailed roles in SCW development awaits further functional characterization by genetic approaches.
Thus, all the above 16 pathogenic mutations might have certain effect on metabolism and are important candidates for further functional experiments.
This gives encouragement for further functional food development.
Several other hypermethylated genes identified were ADAMTS1, ARPC5, BAIAP2, and TUBG1, for which further functional analysis is warranted.
