Because looking for candidate genes for particular phenotypes does not result in complete findings, contemporary functional geneticists often use
A) genomewide association studies (GWAS).
B) partial gene testing (PGT).
C) dual gene association (DGA).
D) chromosome deletion techniques (CDT).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genomewide association studies (GWAS) are commonly used by functional geneticists to identify genetic variations associated with specific diseases or traits. This approach allows researchers to scan complete sets of DNA, or genomes, of many individuals to find genetic markers that can help predict the presence of a disease or a trait, overcoming the limitations of candidate gene approaches.
