genemap discovery platform will help define functions for orphan metabolic proteins

Researchers have developed a discovery platform to probe the function of genes involved in metabolism — the sum of all life-sustaining chemical reactions. The investigators used the new platform, called GeneMAP (Gene-Metabolite Association Prediction), to identify a gene necessary for mitochondrial choline transport.
