Länk - Gener kan ha olika roller vid olika tidpunkter i utvecklingen
This is another of the consequences of widespread pleiotropy -- genes that have important effects early in development may continue to be important in restricted tissues later in life. By being scored in a functional category related to these later functions, the earlier functions of the gene may be missed in the functional analysis. Screening gene expression at multiple times helps to catch these temporally sensitive functions.Bloggposten handlar mest om mikroRNA-påverkan.
