Gene Expression/Trauma Model (IMAGE) Princeton University Caption The Princeton researchers produced a model that physicians could use to determine trauma patients' chances of survival based on their gene activity. Each module correlates activity for a specific gene family with the patient's possible outcome (colored lines), which is based on the likelihood of death; all patients categorized as ocMOF v (red) eventually died. A physician would determine the outcome indicated by each gene family, then combine those observations to identify the overall chances of survival.
