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.
The necrobiome is the community of organisms that use or are affected by decomposing organic matter. Decomposing organic matter comes in the form of dead plant matter (biomass) or that of de...
The potential for cognitive bias in forensic evidence interpretation and crime scene investigation continues to receive attention and debate within forensic and academic communities. Startin...
The current standard methodology in forensic DNA typing relies on amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) markers by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele sizes (i.e., length-bas...
In late 2019, nearly a decade into a life sentence, Lydell Grant was released from a Texas prison after being convicted of a murder that he did not commit. The victim, Aaron Scheerhorn, was...

With the completion of the human genome nearly two decades ago, consumers, patients, and physicians are wondering when genetic testing will go PRIME TIME. While the diagnostic utility of gen...
Complex genomes, including the human genome, contain ‘dark’ regions that standard short-read sequencing technologies do not adequately resolve—overlooking many variants tha...
Realizing the promise of Precision Medicine requires both a deep understanding of the landscape of genomic evidence and an understanding of the molecular drivers that influence all aspects o...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease that accounts for 10-20% of all breast cancer cases diagnosed annually in the U.S.1. Despite its prevalence, TNBC remains resist...
Within the clinical arena, the oncology community has led the way in the early adoption of next generation sequencing. NGS is in widespread use in clinical cancer research and is now beginni...
The introduction of PacBio HiFi sequence reads, which are both long (up to 25 kb currently) and accurate (>99%) at the individual single-molecule sequence read level, has allowed for adva...
Karyomapping, a technique for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of single gene disorders, involves using very few or single cells, and comes with challenges due to limited amounts of s...
Long-read DNA sequencing technologies such as the Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) platforms, have demonstrated enhanced detection of genomic variation, including Singl...
Learning Objectives: 1. Learn why the complexity and repetitive structure of the human genome makes it impossible to detect all structural variants using short-read sequencing 2. Learn how h...
