Gene and Enhancer Traps for Gene Discovery

Gene traps and enhancer traps provide a valuable tool for gene discovery. With this system, genes can be identified based solely on the expression pattern of an inserted reporter gene. The use of a reporter gene, such as β-glucuoronidase (GUS

Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis as a Gene Discovery Tool

in identifying genes that underlay complex traits. In this chapter, I will describe the basic steps required to conduct QTL analysis in crop plants. This process involves choices by the investigator on type of population to be studied, molecular marker

RT-PCR-Based Gene Expression Profiling for Cancer Biomarker Discovery from Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissues

of technologies capable of identifying molecular biomarkers from the gene expression profiles of preserved surgical specimens. Molecular tests such as the Oncotype DX� breast cancer test are proving to be more effective tools for individualized patient
