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.
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...
Boston Children’s Hospital is developing the infrastructure needed for large-scale psychiatric research and treatment discovery. The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research and...
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...
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...

Next-generation sequencing is expected to take molecular diagnostics to the next level with the capability to perform deep analysis of genetic information that leads to targeted therapies per...
Genomics and metagenomics have become ubiquitous research efforts. Here we will show details of the development of physical, computational, and even space-based standards for metagenomi...
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States and both the incidence and associated mortality are rising. When detected early, endometrial cancer survival...
As next generation sequencing has lowered the price of DNA sequencing orders of magnitude below what it cost to create the first consensus human genome, the sheer diversity of human sequence...
Studying the genetics of rare congenital disorders disrupting cognitive function has led to the identification of multiple disease genes that helped us better understand the mechanisms underl...
We are nearing three decades of research on the neural circuits of Pavlovian fear conditioning. The advent of new techniques such as genetic and optogenetic manipulations have greatly advance...
Healthcare is becoming more proactive and data-rich than anything before possible – and will increasingly focus on maintaining and enhancing wellness more than just reacting to disease....
Despite vast investment for decades in cancer research and development, cancer is still among the leading causes of death worldwide and its toll is expected to rise by about 70% over the next...
In this era of precision molecular medicine, knowledge changes rapidly and is highly dispersed. Physicians and patients are faced with conflicting expert opinions and a shortage of acti...
Cell growth and regulation involve vast networks of interacting DNAs, RNAs, proteins, lipids and sugars. Through a fundamental strategy of life, these interactions push multiple cellular proc...
Clinical whole genome sequencing (cWGS) is rapidly gaining acceptance as cost is decreasing and success rates in identifying disease-causing variants are increasing. While the application of...
Although there have been enormous advances in gene sequencing, the results give massive amounts of data that only point to disease risk. Major health factors, including diet, lifestyle, envir...
