Caused by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, complex diseases such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, hypertension, manic depression, schizophrenia, and others, are often difficult to treat. Disorders that are commonly referenced as "running in the family" can be classified as complex diseases.
The Type 2 Diabetes Knowledge Portal is an open-access resource for human genetic information on type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is a central repository for data from large genomic studies that ide...
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...
Ion mobility/mass spectrometry has tremendous potential for metabolomics, lipidomics, and clinical analysis. Ion mobility can resolve compounds unresolved by LC/MS/MS, provide additional stru...
In genomics, as in life, you need to be in the right place at the right time, and you need integrity, to be credible. Since the availability of the human genome sequence, there's been an...
Screening for Down syndrome began with the question "How old will you be when you deliver?". If the pregnant woman answered 35 years of age or older, she was offered amniocent...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex group of individually rare neurological conditions with genetic and non-genetic causes. Despite the strong genetic component of ASD, it has been ve...
In consciousness studies, a longstanding controversy concerns whether activity in the prefrontal cortical (PFC) region of the brain is necessary to evoke conscious experiences. Similarly, the...

Clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) at pre-synaptic terminals is functionally coupled to neuro-transmitter release. Like other cytosolic proteins, clathrin is synthesized in cell-bodies and c...
Most neuropsychiatric diseases involve multifactorial systems characterized by complex interactions among genetic predisposition/resiliency, environmental/social determinants, molecular seque...
Psychiatric diagnosis is inherently difficult, due to the lack of clear biomarkers or any other objective assessment. Although quantitative, the psychometric scales employed during the psychi...
Complex animal behavior is produced by dynamic interactions between discrete regions of the brain. As such, defining functional connections between brain regions is critical in gaining a full...
