Human research
Human research is scientific research conducted with human subjects in an effort to improve health. Human research can involve people directly, but it can also utilize specimens or data from people. Research can be aimed at developing a new drug or therapy or improving a diagnostic or therapeutic technique.

The remarkable diversity we see between different cell types in the human body is governed by the specificity attained through transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory programs. Cancer is a...AUG 21, 2013 | 3:00 PMC.E. CREDITS
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a novel class of RNA molecule that are emerging as important regulators of gene transcription and post-transcriptional events. lncRNAs have been shown to reg...AUG 21, 2013 | 3:00 PM
Introduction Although the focus of the genomics community has largely been on DNA polymorphisms which affect disease risk, gene expression, especially of blood cells, has the potential to ref...AUG 21, 2013 | 2:00 PM

Sharing sequencing datasets without identifiers has become a common practice in genomics. We recently showed that some datasets can be fully re-identified by using entirely free, publicly acc...AUG 21, 2013 | 12:00 PM
Whenever there is cell death, apoptotic cell free DNA fragments appear in the circulation of the host. These fragments, typically 145-160 base pairs in size, represent a minute fraction of to...AUG 21, 2013 | 10:00 AMC.E. CREDITS
