Genetic disease is the leading cause of death for infants in the intensive care units. Traditional testing is too slow to provide physicians a timely diagnosis to help guide the management of...
Nucleotide variation in gene regulatory elements is a major cause of human disease. Despite continual progress in the cataloging of these elements, little is known about the code and grammati...
The study of inherited genomic variation through genome wide association studies (GWAS) promised to provide key biologic insight into common diseases of public health significance such as obe...
Genetic testing currently plays a relatively niche role in healthcare, with testing typically limited to single genes and targeting a relatively narrow range of diseases, including paediatric...

In this seminar, I will discuss issues in transcriptome analysis. I will first talk about core aspects - how we analyze the activity patterns of genes in model organisms and humans. I will fo...
SMRT Sequencing is a DNA sequencing technology characterized by long read lengths and high consensus accuracy, regardless of the sequence complexity or GC content of the DNA sample. These cha...
Characterizing cellular hierarchy has profound implications in development and diseases. Single-cell technologies have great potential in discovering new cell types and lineage relationships,...
A plethora of methods and tools have been developed to identify genes differentially expressed between two compared conditions, such as "diseased versus healthy". For many scientist...
Many computational approaches exist for predicting the effects of amino acid substitutions from protein sequence. These are often (incorrectly) used for judging disease predisposition from in...
Although ultrahigh-throughput RNA-sequencing has become the dominant technology for genome-wide transcriptional profiling, the vast majority of RNA-seq studies typically profile only tens of...
The realization of the promise of personalized molecular medicine requires efficient development and implementation of novel targeted therapeutics linked to molecular markers able to identify...
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analyses have identified genetic associations with a wide range of human phenotypes. However, many of the...
Cell free DNA (cfDNA) analysis for the purpose of diagnostics is currently practiced for non-invasive prenatal screening of cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA), and is anticipated to be leveraged fo...
When studying the transcriptome, most of our inferences revolve around changes in average expression. However, more recent examples have demonstrated that analysis of the variability of gene...
Massive parallel sequencing (MPS) technologies have paved the way into new areas of research including individualized medicine. However, sequencing of trace amounts of nucleic acids still rem...
