M2 PRESSWIRE-13 May 2003-US NSF: Pattern recognition method zeroes in on genes that regulate cell's genetic machinery(C)1994-2003 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD RDATE:05122003 Arlington, Va -- Using a new technique for recognizing patterns in biological databases, a team of U.S. and Israeli computer scientists and geneticists have developed a practical computational method that zeroes in on the genes responsible for controlling the genetic machinery of a cell.

In a paper published online May 12 by Nature Genetics, the researchers from Stanford University and Hebrew University and the Weizmann Institute in Israel report that their method revealed several previously unknown control, or regulatory, genes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, better known as baker's yeast....
