The Gene Teams
By Dr. Suzanne Vernon

What happens when four teams of scientists are given extensive biomedical data gathered from CFS patients and asked to investigate the pathophysiology and identify potential biomarkers for the illness? In this article, Dr. Suzanne Vernon provides a play-by-play account of results from the CFS Computational Challenge.
