Tools for genomics
Article Abstract:
A professor of biochemistry describes his experience of developing a research tool, the Roche AmpliChip for cytochrome P450 that would help doctors determine an individual's genotype to help them determine appropriate drugs and doses to prescribe, minimizing harmful drug reactions. He states that cowpea, an important source of high-quality protein in much of Africa, is relatively neglected by crop scientists but with proper genetic research the crop can be improved in Africa by African scientists.
