"DNA Chip"
Researchers at Ohio State created the first DNA gene chip that contains thousands of the genes for a horse and one of the first gene chips for a domestic animal. The new chip houses more than 3,200 expressed horse genes on a sliver of glass about the size of a postage stamp. When the researchers began developing this chip, only 200 horse genes were known. This chip allows researchers to scan an individual horse’s genes at once to see which ones are active in a certain situation. For example, drug companies might use a gene chip to predict how a particular drug will affect an animal. Pictured here is Alicia Bertone, the professor of veterinary clinical sciences who led Ohio State's efforts in developing the equine gene chip.
