Studies in the past two decades have identified the genetic determinants of longevity, using approaches such as genome-wide RNA interference ( RNAi ) and mutagenesis screens, microarrays, and protein arrays.

Whatever the impact of cloning, it appears that researchers will soon know much more about the genetic determinants of health and other life outcomes than the social and environmental determinants.

Ron Konopka and Seymour Benzer isolated the first clock mutant in " Drosophila " in the early 1970s and mapped the " period " gene, the first discovered genetic determinant of behavioral rhythmicity.
14.
As expected in a complex condition like alcohol dependence, the disagreement in the association between AD and 5-HTTLPR likely reflects the impossibility for a single genetic determinant to explain the whole of the risk.
15.
Almost certainly, thoroughbred breeders will gain ways to screen stallions and mares for the genetic determinants of weakness in bone and muscle, allergies and other difficulties that can keep a horse off the track.
16.
CRR investigators have sought to understand the individual health risks from repeated diagnostic CT exposure, the age-related risk of cancer arising from prior radiation exposure and the genetic determinants underlying individual sensitivity to ionizing radiation exposure.
17.
FRSC He co-developed a new computational approach to identifying the genetic determinants of disease, was one of the first researchers to successfully train a deep neural network, and was a pioneer in the introduction of iterative message-passing algorithms.
18.
As most human diseases have a significant heritable component, it was soon recognized that the characterization of the genetic determinants of disease would provide remarkable opportunities for clinical medicine, potentially altering the way disease was understood, diagnosed and treated.
19.
The discovery of the structure of DNA not only led to an ability to characterize genetic determinants in disease, but also provided the tools necessary for the revolution in molecular medicine that has occurred in the past 25 years.
20.
The Influenza Genome Sequencing Project was initiated in 2004 to create a library of influenza sequences to understand what makes one strain more lethal than another, what genetic determinants most affect immunogenicity, and how the virus evolves over time.
