The Excellence in Clinical Research Seminar Series is designed to facilitate clinical research in the rare disease space with a focus on aspects of regulatory medicine and clinical trials in Mendelian disorders.
News Release
In an article published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, researchers have found that words scientists use to describe populations have changed from 1949 to 2018.
News Release
In a large-scale study of people from diverse ancestries, researchers narrowed down the number of genomic variants that are strongly associated with blood lipid levels and generated a polygenic risk score to predict elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, a major risk factor for heart disease.

For researchers interested in applying to the Genomic Innovator Award funding opportunity
News Release
The finding marks a new effort in conserving an ancient dog breed, with potential to inform human vocalization processes.
News Release
NHGRI researchers have produced the first end-to-end DNA sequence of a human chromosome. The results show that generating a precise, base-by-base sequence of a human chromosome is now possible, and will enable researchers to produce a complete sequence of the human genome.
News Release
NHGRI researchers, collaborators at the University of California (UC) San Diego, UC Davis and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine lay out a new framework for comparing dog-to-human aging, one that uses epigenetics as a biological marker to better understand the aging process.
News Release
NHGRI has selected Charles Rotimi, Ph.D., as the next scientific director. In this role, he will lead the institute’s Intramural Research Program, which conducts basic and clinical research to enable a greater understanding of human disease and to develop better methods to detect, prevent and treat genetic disorders.
News Release
NHGRI researchers have discovered that Mediterranean populations may be more susceptible to an autoinflammatory disease because of evolutionary pressure to survive the bubonic plague.
