The key issue then is the translation of these newly identified genetic variants (from Copy Number Variant studies, candidate gene sequencing and high throughput sequencing technologies) into an intervention for patients with neurogenomic disorders. One aspect will be if the neurological disorder are medically actionable (i.e. is there a simple ...
Functional genomics uses mostly multiplex techniques to measure the abundance of many or all gene products such as mRNAs or proteins within a biological sample. A more focused functional genomics approach might test the function of all variants of one gene and quantify the effects of mutants by using sequencing as a readout of activity.
The Critical Assessment of Functional Annotation (CAFA) is an experiment designed to provide a large-scale assessment of computational methods dedicated to predicting protein function. [1] Different algorithms are evaluated by their ability to predict the Gene Ontology (GO) terms in the categories of Molecular Function , Biological Process ...
Within metagenomics sequencing, functional metagenomic is a powerful approach for characterizing resistomes; a metagenomic library is generated by cloning the total community DNA extracted from a sample into an expression vector, this library is assayed for antimicrobial resistance by plating on selective media that are lethal to the wild-type ...
The sequence-driven approach to screening is limited by the breadth and accuracy of gene functions present in public sequence databases. In practice, experiments make use of a combination of both functional and sequence-based approaches based upon the function of interest, the complexity of the sample to be screened, and other factors.

Functional cloning is a molecular cloning technique that relies on prior knowledge of the encoded protein’s sequence or function for gene identification. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In this assay, a genomic or cDNA library is screened to identify the genetic sequence of a protein of interest.
Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) (also called functional enrichment analysis or pathway enrichment analysis) is a method to identify classes of genes or proteins that are over-represented in a large set of genes or proteins, and may have an association with different phenotypes (e.g. different organism growth patterns or diseases). The ...
