✦ Synopsis

Genetic interactions provide information about genes and processes with overlapping functions in biological systems. For Saccharomyces cerevisiae, computational integration of multiple types of functional genomic data is used to generate genome-wide predictions of genetic interactions. However, this methodology cannot be applied to the vastly more complex genome of metazoans, and only recently has the first metazoan genomewide prediction of genetic interactions been reported. The prediction for Caenorhabditis elegans (1) was generated by computationally integrating functional genomic data from S. cerevisiae, C. elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. This achievement is an important step toward system-level understanding of biological systems and human diseases.

Panic disorder is characterized by spontaneous and recurrent panic attacks, often accompanied by agoraphobia. The results of family, twin, and segregation studies suggest a genetic role in the etiology of the illness. We have genotyped up to 23 families that have a high density of panic disorder wit
