Attributing functions to genes and gene products.

Trends in biochemical sciences - 1 Jun 2011

Greenspan Neil S

Abstract excerpt

A major focus of modern biochemical, biophysical and cell biological research is the attribution of function to elements of structure: gene products, genes and higher-order cellular structures. Misunderstandings and controversies can arise in connection with such assignments, in part because of the logical complexity inherent in the relating of structure to function and the failure to distinguish clearly among...
