What is another word for candidate gene cloning?
Pronunciation: [kˈandɪdˌe͡ɪt d͡ʒˈiːn klˈə͡ʊnɪŋ] (IPA) 
Candidate gene cloning refers to the process of isolating and identifying genes that are believed to be involved in a particular trait or disease. There are several synonyms for this term, including targeted gene cloning, selective gene cloning, and positional cloning. These terms all refer to the same basic process of identifying candidate genes by narrowing down the search area based on known genetic information or disease-related markers. Candidate gene cloning is an important tool in genetic research and allows scientists to better understand the underlying causes of various diseases and conditions. By identifying these genes, researchers hope to develop targeted therapies and improve overall treatments for patients.
