Human Genetics: is the study of inheritance as it exist in human beings. This field encompasses a variety of overlapping grounds including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, clinical genetics, population genetics, developmental genetics, and genetic counseling.

One of the hallmarks of human cancers is genetic instability. My colleagues and I recently identified a remarkable association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and genomic structural variat...
Structural variants (SVs), defined as the deletion, duplication, insertion, inversion or translocation of genomic regions, are both a major source of genetic diversity in human populations an...
As next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms advance in their speed, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness, many translational researchers are transitioning from microarrays to RNA sequencing...
Using high throughput next-generation sequencing to simultaneously search large number of genes for pathogenic mutations has numerous advantages. It decreases the pressure to narrow the dif...
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is part of a new Presidential focus aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. By acce...
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates cholesterol efflux to lipid-free apolipoproteins such as apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and apolipoprotein E (apoE). ABCA1 is essential regul...
The popularity reached by the genetic manipulation of laboratory animals to create new models for studying human diseases, produced in turn, that the techniques for assisted reproduction cons...
