"Completion of the first phase of the Human Genome Project has presented scientists with a mountain of new information. The availability of all human genes and their locations is exciting, but their mechanisms of action and interaction with other genes are often unknown. Certain variations in the environment and characteristics of human genes make it difficult for scientists to maximize their efforts to take advantage of this new fund of ..."
"Genes that affect ocular structures may also have systemic effects. Conversely,

organ systems can result in failure to fully comprehend important disease
mechanisms. The techniques for performing complete necropsies are detailed
elsewhere,3 and discussion of necropsy techniques in this chapter is limited to
methods for assessment of the eye, eyelids, or ..."
