How do we know we know what each individual gene does? One way to investigate the function of a gene is to just remove the gene and analyze what happens to the organism. Let’s say we have a gene of unknown function in the human genome‚ an unidentified gene. First‚ compare it to other genes to see what similar sequences they have‚ if they code some similar sequences they might code for similar functions. However‚ if the gene the unidentified gene codes for something different we have seen before this

Candidate gene approach is implemented in 5 steps: (1) construction or collection of a resource population‚ (2) phenotyping of the specific components of the trait(s)‚ (3) selection of genes or functional polymorphisms that potentially could affect the traits‚ (4) genotyping of the resource

Gene patents have been a controversial issue ever since the United States Patent Office began to grant patents for human genes. Those who protest gene patents argue that they will impede research and negatively affect the medical field. Supporters of the patents suggest that they will help propel the field to new heights by harboring innovation through the pricing power that comes with patenting.
