Archive: HHMI News: New Functional Atlas Gives the 411 on Gene Partners
"Sometimes it helps to have a 'cheat sheet' when you are working on a problem as difficult as deciphering the relationships among hundreds of thousands of genes. At least that's the idea behind a powerful new technique developed by Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers to analyze how genes function together inside cells.
"The new approach is called epistatic miniarray profiles (E-MAP). The scientists who developed it - HHMI investigator Jonathan S. Weissman, HHMI postdoctoral fellow Sean Collins, and colleague Nevan Krogan, who are all at the University of California, San Francisco - have used E-MAP to unravel a key process that prevents DNA damage during cellular replication."
