Part of the data was tested and analyzed in Madison at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, where the group conducted some studies to look for specific genes but also ran tests to see what they could find.
“Whats really cool is that the technology used was not widely available 10 years ago, but now with it, we can screen lots and lots of genes and identify novel genes,” said Christina Kendziorski, an associate professor in biostatistics and medical informatics at UW.
