Next Steps for Functional Genomics
One of the holy grails in biology is the ability to predict functional characteristics from an organism''s genetic sequence. Despite decades of research since the first sequencing of an organism in 1995, scientists still do not understand exactly how the information in genes is converted into an organism''s phenotype, its physical characteristics. Functional genomics attempts to make use of the va...
