They tested these samples for
known molecular markers and for susceptibility to six antimalarial drugs.
Working closely with more than 200 data contributors, WWARN is able to use this powerful resource to perform pooled analyses that uncover new insights into the emergence and spread of malaria drug resistance, including evaluating the efficacy of antimalarial combination therapies (ACTs), and examining whether
known molecular markers can predict clinical outcomes.
Not exact matches
With the aid of DNA
markers, we now
know which gene is responsible for which
molecular feature.
Most simply, once these genes, or bits of DNA tied to the genes (
known as
markers), have been identified,
molecular breeders can quickly target offspring inheriting the genes for further development, cutting breeding time and improving the crop's «genetic gain,» the generational improvements made to a crop, like increased height, by human selection.
That's your headline right there: «
Molecular Marker Corn Breeder
known for Plant Sciences Software Development and Genomic Analysis.»
One important benefit of this genetic approach is that, even without
knowing the precise genetic causes of drug resistance, researchers are able to quickly identify resistant strains — an important step towards identifying
molecular markers to enable effective worldwide surveillance.
«The observed increase in the ratio of cytotoxic CD4 T cells to CD4 helper T cells indicates that they are an important component of the protective immune response to viral infections and that their induction should be an important
marker for successful vaccinations against certain viral diseases,» says postdoctoral researcher and first author Veena Patil, Ph.D. «But we really didn't
know enough about their
molecular profile and the mechanisms that drive their differentiation and maintenance.»
