Abstract:A large number of DNA sequences corresponding to human and animal transcripts have been filed in data banks, as cDNAs or ESTs (expression sequence tags). However, the actual function of their corresponding gene products is still largely unknown. Several of these genes may play a role in regulation of important biological processes such as cell division, differentiation, malignant transformation and oncogenesis. Elucidation of gene function is based on 2 main approaches, namely, overexpression and expression in… Show more
