Genetic Variants and Ill Health: Scanning 500,000 SNPs Yields Gene-Disease Connections

It's an exhilarating time for genome-wide association studies

For the past few months it seemed you couldn’t open a journal without reading results of a new genome-wide association study. The results kept pouring in: four studies in April showing seven...

Taking on the Exposome

How bioinformatics tools are bringing insight to the environmental side of the health equation

When it comes to what kills people, Nurture trumps Nature: Chronic diseases with overwhelmingly environmental (rather than genetic) causes are responsible for the deaths of two-thirds of the world...

Automating Literature Surveillance
Today, if researchers want to study complex relationships among genes, diseases and drugs, they have to hope that human curators have read the scientific literature, extracted the relevant...

Unlocking the Genetics of Complex Diseases: GWAS and Beyond

Building upon the clues provided by GWAS to gain new insights

Some diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, have a beautiful simplicity: A genetic misspelling cripples a protein, which profoundly and predictably alters the body. Find the faulty gene for these so-...

Network Biology: Converging on Answers to Complex Diseases

Network biology is allowing scientists to convert their cellular parts lists into insights about complex diseases

To parents, the symptoms of autism can seem to appear from out of the blue during a child's first few years of life. But in recent years, researchers have shown that genes involved in the...

Genomic Sequencing: Overcoming Challenges to a Bright Future
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES), which sequences only the protein-coding regions of the genome, have already begun to transform clinical medicine. They are being used...
