SCRB 150 - Human Genetics: Mining Our Genomes for an Understanding of Human Variation and Disease

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

The sequencing of the human genome has revealed the full extent of genetic variation that exists within us as a species. This genetic diversity underlies much of our physical variation as well as our differences in responsiveness to disease stimuli and their treatments. We will explore these and other ramifications of human genetic diversity by applying classical and contemporary genetic tools to the identification of specific genes and pathways that functionally underlie our variable biology.
