Functional genomics: technological challenges and opportunities.

p38 MAPK and PI3K/AKT signalling cascades in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative condition which has the second largest incidence rate among all other neurodegenerative disorders barring Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently there is no cure and researchers continue to probe the therapeutic prospect in cell cultures and animal models of PD. Out of several factors contributing to PD prognosis, the role of p38 MAPKs (mitog...

Statistical Challenges in Functional Genomics

On February 12, 2001 the Human Genome Project announced that it had assembled a draft physical map of the human genome the genetic blueprint for a human being. Now the challenge is to annotate this map, by understanding the functions of genes and their interplay with proteins and the environment to create complex, dynamic living systems. This is the goal of functional genomics. Recent technolog...
