Isolation and Structure Determination of Genes

571
The study of genes that are expressed only, or with unique effects, in the nervous system has become important from both a molecular biological and a clinical perspective. From knowledge of the structure of a gene and its exons, it is possible to identify
| 1. |
the sequence of the mRNA produced by that gene
|
| 2. |
mechanisms of gene expression such as steroid regulation, or alternative mRNA splicing
|
| 3. |
evolutionary relationships of genes or
|
| 4. |
mutations that alter expression of a gene, causing disease
|
