Functional Genomic Fingerprinting (FGF) fills a longstanding need to establish a powerful platform technology for specifically scanning only the functional regions within the genome in an ultra-focused, high-throughput. This technology has multiple applications in human medicine, biology and agriculture: disease-gene discovery, predictive diagnostics, pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine. Once the mutations/alrerations causatives of the structure, function, trait or disease are identified, these mutations will find multitudes of applications in medicine, biology and agriculture. FGF technology offers this unprecedented power to researchers with many applications in gene research including human, animal and plant biology.

Features:

• Functional Genomic Fingerprinting (FGF) enables researchers for the first time to specifically target the search for disease causing mutations to only the functional 1% of the genome encoding exons and gene regulatory regions.
• FGF is far more effective at finding mutated genes than other currently available techniques, such as
  

  Micro array HapMap AFLP RAPD Positional cloning

• Using FGF to find functional mutations causing disease, trait or response to drugs will save significant effort, money and time
