Population Genetics, Ancestry and Bioinformatics (pGAB) Laboratory
Strategies in complex diseases variant discovery and functional studies
We have a strong interest in applying ancestry variation, population genetics/genomics and bioinformatics approaches to find genes in human disease studies. We are using various integrated "omics" approaches to understand the role of ancestry and genetic variations in phenotypic variation.
