Gene Function Analysis

The determination of protein function has been a major goal of molecular biology since the founding of the discipline. However, as we learn more about gene function, we discover that the context within which a gene is expressed controls the specific funct

Cover illustration: The image on the cover comprises a composite of mCherry staining showing expression in zebrafish using the gene trap of Chapter 19, Figure 3, and a network deduced computationally in Chapter 11, Figure 15. The integration of computational and experimental methods will mark future development in gene function analysis.
