The team behind the Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) Study, one of the world's largest nationwide rare disease genome-wide sequencing initiatives, have developed a novel computational ...

Over the past decades, large-scale human genetic studies have identified numerous risk genes and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

The model will allow, for the first time in Israel, the determination of a personal genetic risk score for breast cancer based on the genetic profile of each woman. This development could form the ...

Dr. David Buchner is an accomplished geneticist and educator whose career spans more than two decades of research and leadership in human genetics, metabolic disease, and computational genomics. He ...

FM: You teach Life Sciences 1B — the flagship introductory genetics class — along with three other professors. Some LS1B alumni I talked to said they were surprised that you taught it, given your ...

Understanding how genes interact to influence complex traits, such as Body Mass Index or total cholesterol levels, in humans is important for basic biology and precision medicine. Such interactions ...

Scientists at UCLA and the University of Toronto have developed an advanced computational tool, called moPepGen, that helps identify previously invisible genetic mutations in proteins, unlocking new ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

“We are well aware that the microbiome plays a critical role in human health, but our understanding of what exactly shapes the microbiome is very incomplete,” explained Pearl (Hongjiao) Liu, a ...

Course work and attendance at seminars and journal clubs are the major activities of first year students. Research in a faculty member’s lab or learning clinical genomic data analyses in a hospital ...
