51.   Starr said Millennium has identified a gene that yanks fat out of the digestive tract and sends it through the blood stream.

52.   That enabled the researchers to identify the gene.

53.   The advantage of this technique is that the markers can be used even if the breeders have not identified the gene.

54.   The Cambridge firm helped identify the genes that cause obesity and developed a proposed drug compound Hoffmann-La Roche plans to test.

55.   The defective gene has been identified, which gives researchers hope.

56.   The extra information helps to identify genes.

57.   The machines automatically identify expressed genes.

58.   The preview privilege means that the companies could identify genes with potential commercial value, and patent them before most other researchers can view the data.

59.   The project has already identified many genes of medical interest and prompted investments by several companies.

60.   The scientists identified key genes that govern cellular growth and, when they go awry, can lead to cancer.
