Gene therapy — using an Adenovirus vector. A new gene is inserted into an adenovirull. If the treatment is successful, the new gene will make a functional protein. Gene therapy is the insertion, alteration, or removal of genes within an individual s cells and… … Wikipedia
Functional cloning — involves using a known gene sequence as a probe to look for new gene sequences that may have similar functions, based on the similarity of sequence. Using this method of analysis, researchers can search through entire genomes to find genes of… … Wikipedia
