Genetics and Genomics

Our Research Focus

The ability to sequence and analyze entire mammalian genomes has created a revolution in biomedical research. Discovery has gone far beyond the single-gene sequence and protein function research previously possible. We are now investigating entire gene networks, background effects, the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms and structural variants across the genome, modeling genotype-phenotype relationships and much more.
