A major motivation behind recent large-scale genome and transcriptome projects is the hope of using this information to identify human disease genes and thereby elucidate the genetic basis of disease. The positional candidate approach is a powerful technique for disease gene identification and relies on mapping diseases to a specific chromosomal location and then analyzing candidate genes at that location (Collins 1995). Applying this approach, we mapped all FANTOM2 cDNAs to …
