Patient-reported outcome measures in plastic surgery: use and interpretation in evidence-based medicine.

abstract：:Effective methods to identify novel genes in complicated dynamic tissue processes are needed in molecular biology research. Traditional techniques primarily target known genes and are inefficient in the pursuit of unknown genes. Here we describe the use of a modified differential display polymerase chain reaction (DD-...
