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.
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.
Profile
An interview with Meru Sadhu, an Earl Stadtman Investigator and head of the systems biology and genome engineering section within the NHGRI Intramural Research Program, where he talks about his research and why yeast have a special place in his heart.
News Release
Researchers have released a new high-quality collection of reference human genome sequences that captures substantially more diversity from different human populations than what was previously available.
News Release
NIH researchers compared a new genetic animal model of Down syndrome to the standard model and found the updated version to be enhanced.
News Release
NIH researchers have identified a gene that makes yeast resistant to a lethal toxin.
News Release
NIH researchers have developed and released an innovative software tool, called Verso, to assemble truly complete (i.e., gapless) genome sequences from a variety of species. The software makes the process of assembling complete genome sequences more affordable and accessible.
News Release
Researchers from NHGRI and the Undiagnosed Diseases Program (UDP) have discovered a new neurological condition characterized by issues with motor coordination and speech.
