Genomic medicine investigates groups of genetic markers that determine susceptibility for complex diseases.
Basic cancer research is conducted to identify the markers that determine patients to chemotherapy regimen according to the responses.
The risk test used for this study was PreDx, a multi-marker blood test that determines the likelihood of a patient progressing from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes within 5 years.
The VB-representing indel markers accurately identified a putative locus that determines the yellow hilum color in soybean.
That would be a better marker of the total teacher compensation package, especially since it is the total compensation that determines retirement benefits.
I'm interested in the class differences that Cianfrance tries to dramatize (the woman, early on, is a promising pre-med student who, upon getting pregnant, scales her plans down; the man is a manual laborer) but the disparity remains utterly uninvestigated, and, rather, serves merely as a marker that blankly determines the course of the action.
"Importantly, we are directly predicting actual skin color divided into five subtypes — very pale, pale, intermediate, dark and dark to black – using DNA markers from the genes that determine an individual's skin coloration.
Similar to traditional QTL mapping, genome-wide association mapping relies on the strength of linkage disequilibrium (LD) across a diverse population, and aims to identify relationships between markers and functional polymorphisms that determine traits of agronomic, aesthetic, and evolutionary interest.
Once he obtains a list of varieties the user can check which of them have been genotyped for instance with molecular markers associated with QTLs/genes that determine resistance to certain pathogens, in order to choose those that harbour the high-scoring allele.
