Abstract excerpt

Cross-species comparison is an effective tool used to identify genes and study their function in both normal and pathological conditions. We have applied the power of Drosophila genetics to the vast resource of human cDNAs represented in the expressed sequence tag (EST) database (dbEST) to identify novel human genes of high biological interest. Sixty-six human cDNAs showing significant homology to genes causing...
