Cancer: is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue. Cancerous tumors are malignant, which means they can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues.
We introduce a differential abundance analysis method for the analysis of sparse high-throughput data from large-scale surveys of marker genes for microbial communities. Our approach relies o...
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...
In this presentation I will describe our latest work to obtain comprehensive genomes leveraging long and linked reads. The vast majority of NGS whole-genome data covers hundreds of thousands...
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...
