From QTL locus to insulin resistance gene

Aitman T

One of the major current challenges in molecular genetics is the identification of genes underlying common, genetically complex diseases. The human genome sequence, and that of several model organisms, is now available and tools are available to measure in a single experiment the expression of every gene in these genomes. These resources offer unprecedented opportunities for disease gene identification. We have combined a classical genome screen approach, which localises disea...
