The last 20 years have seen an explosion of genetic information and data. New technological advances have made it faster and less expensive to understand the human genomes but most of those...
In the field of oncology, the ability to select cells from a specific location or region within a tissue and analyze each discrete genome allows for the understanding of tumor heterogeneity....
Approximately 13% of the human genome at certain motifs have the potential to form non-canonical (non-B) DNA structures (e.g. G-quadruplexes, cruciforms, and Z-DNA), which regulate......
The All of Us (AoU) initiative aims to enhance personalized medical care by sequencing the genomes of over one million Americans of diverse ethnic backgrounds. To improve sequencing accuracy...
Our understanding of the genetic basis of disease has been rapidly advancing thanks to major technological advances in genomic sequencing and data analysis. Yet the majority of individuals w...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene that reduce survival motor neuron (SMN) protein expression. Despite progress in the...
The current version of the human reference genome, GRCh38, contains a number of errors including 1.2 Mbp of falsely duplicated and 8.04 Mbp of collapsed regions. These errors impact the vari...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the conceptual limitations of the term, "population" as applied to human genomics. 2. Explain the main difference(s) between "race", "...
Learning Objectives: 1. List types of sequencing and genomics methods. 2. List several methods for epigenome engineering. 3. Describe the genomic changes that occur in a spacecraft and in ast...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discover how Genetics is not the major determinant of chronic diseases and cancers; human microbiome and nutrition heavily contribute to their onset and progression....
It has been publicly stated by the CDC that one in 5 Americans had an STI in 2018 and costs our healthcare system roughly $16 billion in direct medical costs. Routine sexually transmitted inf...
Genomic testing based on chromosome microarray (CMA) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) revolutionized clinical genetics. That said, microarray, targeted panel, exome and generic whole gen...
Silk is essential to the life histories of more than 800,000 species across the arthropod tree of life. Humans have harnessed the ability of a handful of these for use in the sericulture ind...
