1.   And last year, scientists at Rockefeller University identified the gene that appears to be successful in treating obesity in animals.

2.   Scientists have identified a gene which seems to protect Chinese people from some types of cancer.

3.   Scientists have identified the gene that causes abnormal growth.

4.   These studies can be extended, using genetic and molecular screens, to identify genes required for the construction of a synapse.

5.   A gene has been identified but the results have yet to be confirmed.

6.   In contrast, generation of exon-enriched probes from YACs will be of great interest to identify new genes located in regions of medical importance.

7.   Although scientists have identified the genes responsible for almost all cases of hemochromatosis, the exact mechanism by which the body absorbs too much iron from food remains unknown.

8.   And identifying the genes allows researchers to gain a better understanding of the disease that they can use to develop treatments, he said.

9.   And if scientists can identify those genes, they can manipulate them or breed for them.
