Scientists create first high resolution gene expression map of inner ear
Q. Scientists have recently created the first high resolution_____________ of the inner ear on 16th October 2015.- Published on 19 Oct 15a. Gene decoding map
b. Gene expression map
c. Gene cell map
d. None of the above
ANSWER: Gene expression map
Through sensitive new technology, scientists have created the first high resolution gene expression map of the inner ear. This provides fresh insight into the way hair cells and supporting cells in the inner ear develop and differentiate into specialised cells serving important functions for maintaining balance. Comprehending how these important cells are a foundation for development of cell based therapies will help in treating loss of hearing as well as balance disorders. To get deeper understanding of how the inner ear cell develops, team used single cell RNA-seg, a new technology which can extract comprehensive gene activity data from a single cell.
