DNA sequencing. Computer image of a coloured auto- radiogram showing sequenced cDNA (complementary DNA),from a 32-lane electrophoresis gel. Colour bands correspond to base pairs that form the code for a section of cDNA. This is part of research at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) in Gaithersburg,Maryland,USA. Here scientists analyse the structure and function of human genes,and animal & plant genes for comparison. At TIGR,cDNA ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) are produced; these "tags" enable the reading of cDNA,lengths of copied genetic material identical to genes. Mapping human genes will enable the development of genetic therapies for inherited human diseases | |
