Abstract excerpt
Two of the major challenges in functional genomics are to identify genes that play a key role in biological processes, and to elucidate the biological role of the large numbers of genes whose function is poorly characterized or still completely unknown. In this study, a combination of large-scale expressed sequence tag sequencing, high-throughput gene silencing and visual phenotyping was used to identify genes in...
