The Center for Functional Genomics has as its mission to unify basic research efforts at Northwestern University focused on understanding gene function. To use phenotype-driven, forward genetic approaches to identify genetic pathways to understand gene function. To use functional, expression-driven approaches to elucidate gene function. Developing and Distributing New Mouse Models for Neuroscience Research.

The future is here! Scientists have mapped the human genome - your complete set of genes. Genes are the secret codes, or recipes that make us who we are and that influence who we might become. Your genome is like an enormous recipe book and with its decoding come new possibilities. Experience this amazing world, first-hand, in. What you have in common with a Fruit Fly? What your children might look like? .
