The research team initially identified a family from Northern France in which the proband, or starting point
for the genetic study of the family, suffered from EPP of unknown cause.
The fish, which share many of the same genes as humans, are
ideal for genetic studies because of their rapid rate of reproduction and because their genes can be readily mutated.
Flies are ideal
for genetic studies because they have short life spans and are small, which means that researchers can breed and interbreed thousands of them in the laboratory until interesting mutations crop up.
Funding for genetic studies (through organizations like the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, The World Wildlife Fund, Alberta Ingenuity, and the Alberta Conservation Association), particularly of large mammals, is becoming easier to obtain.
However, organisms with a single set of chromosomes (haploids), such as yeast, are extremely
useful for genetic studies and have been crucial in identifying key genes and pathways.
The technique for making copies was the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which was used to replicate
DNA for genetic studies or forensic analysis.
To this day, Dunston and her Howard University colleagues find themselves addressing Tuskegee - inspired fears when they recruit Washington
residents for genetic studies.
Only one question concerned NCRR: Genome institute scientist Shawn Burgess asked what will happen to the center's fruit fly and yeast stock
resources for genetic studies.
It was the late 1980s, and Zasloff was a medical scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md. (He now works at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.) At NIH, he used ovaries from African clawed
frogs for genetic studies.
Most people with NIDDM develop symptoms only after age 40, which has made it difficult to gather the large multi-generational families
needed for genetic studies.
Evaluation of root rot
symptoms for her genetic study uses chestnuts grown and tested in containers developed by Steve Jeffers, professor of plant pathology at Clemson, and Joe James, who operates Chestnut Return Farm in Oconee County.
Now that CRISPR technology has been validated in Plasmodium falciparum, Niles expects that many scientists will adopt
it for genetic studies of the parasite.
At the same time, the KLS Foundation is working with laboratories to collect blood samples from KLS patients and their families
for a genetic study, and nasal swabs from patients during active episodes with the aim of isolating an infectious trigger.

for genetic studies: a NeuPSIG systematic review, Delphi survey, and expert panel recommendations.
