Their goal is a database that will help them examine how specific gene variants affect health. (science.sciencemag.org)
In principle, identifying specific gene variants as risk factors for poor fracture healing would lead not only to the development of patient screening tests, but also to a better understanding of the basic biology of how fractures heal. (pennstatehealthnews.org)
Besides serving as a resource for winemakers choosing yeast varieties for fermentations and strain development, the genome sequences provide a platform for many types of genetic experiments, including genome - wide tests that can link specific gene variants to particular flavor or fermentation characteristics.
