However, a plant genome may contain tens of thousands of genes [ 53, 64], and the development of functional markers requires identifying, cloning and determining the functions of target genes, all of which requires considerable research effort.
Scientists have identified and determined the functions of many of the 60 sensory neurons with cilia in C. elegans, a tiny roundworm with a simple nervous system.
The genetic information obtained from this EST initiative will be of enormous value for identifying and determining the functions of genes involved in a number of important biological processes, including sex determination, sex differentiation, reproduction, courtship behavior, and olfaction.
Reviewer 2 With a combination of biochemistry, electron microscopy, metabolomics and mathematical modelling, Gitai and colleagues determine the function and mechanism of CTP synthetase (CtpS) polymerization.
Closely related to this issue to what extent use and design determine the function of an artifact is the problem of characterizing artifact kinds.
It is clear that further studies are needed to determine which phenotypes found in the Fancd2-deficient mice extend to other mice carrying mutations in FA core complex genes, and to determine the function of non-ubiquitylated FANCD2.
These novel phosphoproteins and phosphorylation sites could provide useful data to identify components of phosphorylation-dependent signal cascades, and to determine the function of phosphorylation events in responses to specific environment signals.
Energy transfer and electron transfer events as they occur between well arranged light harvesting antenna molecules, the reaction center and other factors determine the function of natural photosynthesis.
Reverse genetics starts from a gene (or sequence) and aims to determine the function of that gene.
The goals of this work were: (1) to employ an appropriate animal model to study etv7 function, and (2) to determine the function of etv7 during development.
Molecular flexibility and rigidity are required to determine the function and specificity of protein molecules.
