...calls the "Dresden model" has certainly worked for Cenix. The company's team of 26 scientists uses a technique called gene silencing, a procedure that selectively disables (or silences) individual genes. Once a specific gene--in a mouse, for example--has been silenced, researchers can determine that gene's function by the effect its silence has on the rest of the organism. It's kind of like isolating the role a single flute plays in a symphony by eliminating all the flutist's notes from the score. Pharmaceutical firms can use the information gleaned from gene silencing to design more...
