  • Map-Based Genome Mining Method for Identifying Regulatory Loci Controlling the Level of Gene Transcripts and Products
    Publication number: 20080233574
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for identifying one or more regions within a genome of an organism of interest that mediate the expression of one or more genes of interest. The method comprises identifying a first and a second organism of interest, the first organism of interest is characterized by exhibiting a measurable response to an environmental stimulus, or otherwise, exhibiting a phenotype associated with differential gene expression associated with a process of interest. The second organism of interest is characterized by lacking or not exhibit as strong a response to the stimulus as that observed within the first organism of interest, or it exhibits a different phenotype compared with that of the first organism of interest, wherein the different phenotype is associated with the process of interest, or it exhibits a phenotype of interest that segregates when compared with the first organism of interest, or a combination thereof.
