Genome science refers to the study of the genome, and organism's complete set of DNA which includes all of its genes. Genome constrasts with genetics, the latter of which refers to the study of one specific gene and their role in inheritance.
Rare disease affects 30 million people in the United States, with nearly 50% of cases affecting children. Because nearly 80% of rare diseases are genetic, advancements in genomic testing are...

The therapeutic applications of medical cannabis and cannabinoid drugs is controversial, however the number of medical conditions in which cannabinoids and cannabis have shown promise as ther...
With prospective clinical sequencing of tumors emerging as a mainstay in cancer care, there is an urgent need for clinical support tools that aid clinicians in their decision making. To this...
When the human genome was sequenced almost 15 years ago, it was a milestone for the understanding of an individual’s genome. However to fully understand a disease, millions of ind...
Precision medicine based on molecular profiling is moving from the realm of clinical utility studies towards standard of care. There remain, however, significant technological and implementat...
Precision medicine and next-generation sequencing – Two terms characterized by a highly dynamic nature, strong innovations and a bright future. Both merged together will exert a decisiv...

As the costs of genomic analysis decline it becomes possible to offer widescale population genomic analysis to screen for genetic disorders. The Alabama Genomic Health Initiative was es...
Tumors are often categorized into standard molecular subtypes. However, largescale studies have demonstrated that patient heterogeneity in the regulatory make-up of tumors remain. At the tran...
In this presentation I will describe results from a family study designed to identify the genetic cause for familial clustering of several early onset cancers. Data from next generatio...
Complex disease phenotypes - obesity, type II diabetes, and cancer challenge simple models in both evolution and biology. Examination of molecular networks and their dynamic behavior o...
The arrangement of chromatin inside the nucleus has long been recognized as a key element in genomic stability and an active participant in transcriptional control. With the development and d...
Genomic information has the potential to improve management or potentially prevent or enable early intervention of virtually every disease. However, despite massive technological leaps and ex...
