Consequently, the collection may be of use to the community as a resource for gene discovery.

But some who have done the research leading up to the gene discoveries are wary.

Still, there is some reason to hope that the new gene discovery might be an exception.

More recent measures for new gene discovery have taken a genome-wide approach.

The patented gene discovery will allow the medical community to form hypotheses to explain what causes the condition and provide tools for future research.

Biotechnology companies benefited from President Clinton's statement that they should be able to patent privately financed gene discoveries.

Associating literature profiles with gene-expression data could be used for orienting gene discovery.

Each new gene discovery is heralded as a breakthrough.

The company strategy was to exploit this platform technology to enter gene discovery and to eventually produce therapeutic drugs.

Dr. Venter said he consulted his genetic profile every time a new announcement of a gene discovery came out.
