Functional variation in vasopressin 1a receptor
gene structure within and between vole species
predicts behavior Elizabeth Hammock, Center for Behavioral Neuroscience, Emory University, Atlanta, Georga, USA
For example, it is used to identify correlations between
gene sequences and diseases, to
predict protein
structures from amino acid sequences, to aid in the design of novel drugs, and to tailor treatments to individual patients based on their DNA sequences (pharmacogenomics).
