Fri., July 21, 2017 11:00am: Rapid Evolution of the Human Mutation Spectrum
Join us for the next in our BD2K Summer Up 2017 Speaker Series! Kelley Harris, PhD Stanford University Department of Genetics Abstract DNA is a remarkably precise medium for copying and storing biological information, with a mutation rate in humans of about 1e-8 per base pair per generation. This extraordinary fidelity results from the combined…

Visualizing Human Genome Variation
A comprehensive, genomic variation graph offers an intuitive view of how human genomes vary Biomedical Computation Review | By Katharine Miller Humans share 99.5 percent of their DNA sequence, but that still leaves plenty of variation to go around. To get a handle on which variations contribute to health or disease, researchers typically compare individuals’…
