At the current stage of development of functional genomics, it has become possible to determine which genes are expressed in different parts of the body — "work" and which "sleep". And not just to determine, but to obtain three—dimensional images of the distribution of gene activity in all organs and tissues - to create so-called atlases of gene expression.
