Asthma is heritable, influenced by the environment, and is modified by in utero exposures and aging; all of these features are also common to epigenetic regulation. Furthermore, genetic varia...
Germline cancer genetics became a reality with the cloning of the tumor suppressor gene RB1 for hereditary retinoblastoma in 1986 by Friend and Weinberg. The existence of cancer susceptibili...
With current NGS platforms, the boundaries of variant detection and gene content for genetic disease panels has been vastly expanded leading to increases in detection rates. However these pla...
Over the past few years, evidence has been accumulating to indicate that ribosomal subunits are not simply tape-heads that decode mRNA sequences into polypeptide chains, but that they also pl...
Deep mutational scanning is a method that marries selection for protein function amongst a large library of protein variants with high-throughput DNA sequencing to measure the activity of hun...
The next generation sequencing market has been experiencing rapid advancements over the past several years. While this makes for an exciting time in the field of genomics, it can be difficult...
