Applications of comparative evolution to human disease genetics

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development
Claire D McWhiteEdward M Marcotte

Abstract

Direct comparison of human diseases with model phenotypes allows exploration of key areas of human biology which are often inaccessible for practical or ethical reasons. We review recent developments in comparative evolutionary approaches for finding models for genetic disease, including high-throughput generation of gene/phenotype relationship data, the linking of orthologous genes and phenotypes across species, and statistical methods for linking human diseases to model phenotypes.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

CRISPR (general)

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) are DNA sequences in the genome that are recognized and cleaved by CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas). CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Discover the latest research on CRISPR here.

CRISPR in Cancer

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Given that genome instability and mutation is one of the hallmarks of cancer, the CRISPR-Cas system is being explored to genetically alter and eliminate cancer cells. Here is the latest research.

CRISPR Ribonucleases Deactivation

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. This feed focuses on mechanisms that underlie deactivation of CRISPR ribonucleases. Here is the latest research.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
