A chemical anchor that is attached to the glass surface rapidly and tightly captures the so developed proteins, which are then available for functional studies. (sciencedaily.com)
The method identifies gene sets that show evidence for positive selection in comparison with matched controls, and thus highlights genes for further functional studies. (religion.blogs.cnn.com)
The next step is to do functional studies to see how these gene variants actually regulate oxygen levels. (sciencemag.org)
