2018 Total Exposure Health
Dr. Dana Crawford presented "Covering All the Bases: A Primer on Today's Sequencing Technologies and Their Applications in Precision Medicine Research" at the 2018 Total Exposure Health conference in Bethesda, MD.
Total Exposure Health, Bethesda, MD, September 6-7, 2018
For those of us trained in human genetics, we know that pretty much any trait or disease has a heritable component. Yet, no matter how big, we also know heritability (additive genetics) is only part of story. The environment, alone and in combination or interaction with genetics, and gene-gene interactions also affect phenotypes. It’s complex, […]

One Million Genomes: From Discovery to Health, Keystone Symposia, Hannover, Germany, June 4-8, 2018
The little paper that could. What that might be? You know, that little project based on a small sample size that generated big opportunities. Ever had one of those? Well, we recently did. The “we” in this post was our MetroHealth/Institute for Computational Biology Pilot study, affectionately known as MIPs. Collaborators Drs. John Sedor and […]
Jonathan Haines, PhD, and Will Bush, PhD, Part of International Collaboration that Makes Landmark Breakthroughs
An international study analyzing data from more than 94,000 people identified five new genes related to Alzheimer’s disease. The study also supports developing evidence that groups of genes associated with specific biological processes serve as genetic “hubs” that play an important role in the disease process. Funded in part by the National Institute on Aging […]
The 2018 Wrap Up
What can I say–this end-of-the-year update is extremely late. I mean, it’s February and 2019 is well underway. I blame it on the polar vortex. Actually, this was supposed to be a 2018 summer update, so it is not fair to blame the CLE winter for my tardiness. Ah, summer (Figure 1). Where did you […]

2018 Precision Genomics Midwest Conference
As you may or may not know, I organize the annual Cleveland Institute for Computational Biology (CICB) annual symposium, otherwise and affectionately known as the North Coast Conference on Precision Medicine (Figure 1).

2018 NIH All of Us Research Priorities Workshop
Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that NIH has launched the largest effort to date to establish a cohort in the United States. Chatter about the need for a nationally representative cohort bubbled up more than ten years ago in a commentary by Dr. Francis Collins (PMID:15164074), then head of the […]
