There remain, then, thousands of potential genes (i.e. gene protein products) to develop as future drug targets. (senginemedicine.com)
The team anticipates their findings could be used understand how other non-coding RNAs function and to develop potential gene therapies to treat cancer. (sciencedaily.com)
When they sequenced 400 of these snippets and compared them to gene databases and to a library of genes expressed in the fetal brain, the researchers were able to identify 18 potential genes in 21q11 - 21, of which at least nine had been switched on. (sciencemag.org)
