If the relevant gene(s) could be incorporated into wheat, for example, it would reduce the number of herbicides required and extend the period of application.
In order for this particular condition to manifest itself, both parents of the affected child would have to be carriers of the relevant gene.
Once relevant genes are identified, however, it should be possible to make small chips containing relatively few genes.
When possible it links the diseases to the relevant genes.
For the relevant gene, a library of single stranded oligonucleotides is acquired and then mutated using random mutagenesis.
We understand that the use of any such threshold settings is likely to filter out biologically relevant genes.
Better still may be individual genetic assessment of relevant genes.
The decoding of chromosome 21 at least establishes a catalog of all the relevant genes.
Likewise, it may be that while the top 10% of relevant genes might be sufficient for perfect classification, so might the next 10%.
The relevant genes contain the code for proteins that interact with the heart muscle.
