METHODS TO IDENTIFY POLYNUCLEOTIDE AND POLYPEPTIDE SEQUENCES WHICH MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS
摘要
The present invention provides methods for identifying polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences in human and/or non-human primates which may be associated with a physiological condition, such as disease (including susceptibility (human) or resistance (chimpanzee) to development of AIDS). The methods employ comparison of human and non-human primate sequences using statistical methods. Sequences thus identified may be useful as host therapeutic targets and/or in screening assays.
