What is "genecalling"

GeneCalling is a mRNA profiling technology finding increased use in the field of genomics and invented by Dr. Jonathan M. Rothberg and developed by CuraGen Corporation. This genomics technique rapidly identifies candidate genes for use in drug discovery and development. Differences between gene expression in healthy tissues and disease or drug responsive tissues are examined and compared in this technology. Novel genes in any organism - most commonly humans, animals, plants and pathogens - as well as known ones, can be detected by this open expression system.
