Article Synopsis
- A study looked at how well a computer program can use pictures of the eye to find a specific eye disease called Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD).
- The program was tested on many pictures and worked well, especially in finding FECD in the center of the eye, and even better for finding healthy cells in peripheral images.
- The findings suggest that this computer program could help eye doctors see how the disease changes over time and figure out who might need special treatments.
Genomewide clonal analysis of lethal mutations in the Drosophila melanogaster eye: comparison of the X chromosome and autosomes.
Genetics
October 2007
Using a large consortium of undergraduate students in an organized program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), we have undertaken a functional genomic screen in the Drosophila eye. In addition to the educational value of discovery-based learning, this article presents the first comprehensive genomewide analysis of essential genes involved in eye development. The data reveal the surprising result that the X chromosome has almost twice the frequency of essential genes involved in eye development as that found on the autosomes.
