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.
Over the last 15 years, human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) technologies have progressed from academic curiosities into tools with the promise to underpin commerce, leading to real progress in...
The isolation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and the discovery of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) reprogramming have sparked a renaissance in stem cell biology, in vitro di...
The study of human genetic neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) is complicated by the inaccessibility of the relevant tissue for study: it is extremely rare to obtain post-surgical brain sampl...
The human body is composed of about 200 different cell types. The identity and function of these distinct cell types are precisely programmed by the regulatory networks encoded in the 3 billi...
Neurons derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are excellent resources for disease modeling and d...
Accelerating discoveries to improve human and environmental health often require the implementation of niche applications that may involve complex processes and working with challenging sampl...
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a group of more than 250 genetic disorders that disrupt the immune system, resulting in susceptibility to life-threatening infections, autoimmune disease...
In order to realize the benefits of personalized cancer therapy, increasing demands are placed upon clinical laboratories to provide timely, comprehensive, clinically actionable, and analytic...
Technological advances allow for the large scale sequencing of the whole human genome. Most studies have generated population-based information on human diversity using low to intermediate co...
Human breast tumors have been shown to exhibit extensive inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. While recent advances in genomic technologies have allowed us to deconvolute this heterogeneity,...
Technological advances have made genomic sequencing more affordable, efficient, and available. Questions related to the implementation and effects of large-scale sequencing in healthcare have...
New approaches to generate high-quality representations of human genomes and transcriptomes are now becoming available. In contrast to short-read “Whole-Genome” re-sequencing meth...
Advances in DNA sequencing technology are about to transform healthcare. Since completion of the human genome reference sequence ten years ago, there has been a 1-million fold im...
It has been estimated that every human being carries ~20 rare “natural human gene knockouts”-DNA variants in protein-coding regions of the genome that partially or completely inac...

A recently discovered communication system used by cells to send messages across the human body promises to revolutionize our understanding of disease and how we treat it. Technologies based...
Recent advances in personalized medicine and associated companion diagnostic therapeutics have led to an increased utilization of genetic markers in oncology therapy selection. The rapi...
Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have helped to accelerate the pace of discovery in the field of genetic disease research and testing. The ability to analyze multiple genes...
Genomic Medicine is an incredibly fast moving field awash in information. Successful practice requires ongoing access to authoritative and regularly-updated, yet focused resources for both pr...

Medical genetics is a specialty of medicine that encompasses patients at all ages (prenatal, pediatric, adult), as well as all organ systems. As the genetic causes of more diseases have been ...
Genetic testing has been an important component of medical care for decades but the breadth and impact of testing has been steadily increasing as medical knowledge increases, appreciation of ...
Family history can be viewed as the first stop in the assessment of genetic risks for any individual. For many genetic disorders there will be no obvious signs of symptoms until significant m...
