Researchers created a model resource that not only identifies but also outlines the function of some of the most common mutations in the human genome. At a time when research linking genetic mutations to disease risk is booming, scientists are pursuing what they think is an even more significant path: They are zeroing in on how certain mutations work, information they believe will guide the development of new treatment options.
