Diana Cousminer, PhD, Division of Human Genetics (CHOP); Title: Identifying biomarkers of adverse health in early and late puberty using a computational ‘multiomics’ approach.
Complex diseases are associated with genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Genome-wide association studies, or GWAS, use arrays to identify DNA variants associated with traits or diseases. Professors Struan Grant and Andrew Wells of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia discuss how they use NGS to map variants to causal genes.
A high-resolution, genome-scale promoter interactome in human T follicular helper cells implicates novel causal genes at SLE GWAS loci.
