The Drosophila phenotype gap - and how to close it.

Abstract excerpt

Functional genomics (the elucidation of gene function in the context of a sequenced genome) depends critically on functional biology. Genetic model organisms have hitherto not attracted much physiological input, however. This skills mismatch, termed the phenotype gap, can be quantified by analysis of the annotations of sequenced genomes. This is illustrated in the context of Drosophila. In this case, it seems as...
