A team of Duke researchers has identified a group of human DNA sequences driving changes in brain development, digestion and immunity that seem to have evolved
DURHAM, N.C. -- A team of Duke researchers has identified a group of human DNA sequences driving changes in brain development, digestion and immunity that seem to have evolved rapidly after our
Patrick F. Sullivan, PhD A new $8 million NIH grant seeks to uncover more clues into what genes increase the risk of developing schizophrenia. Greg Crawford, Charlie Gersbach, Tim Reddy and Raluca Gordân from the Duke Center for Genomic and Computational Biology have teamed up with Patrick Sullivan, Yun Li, Michael Love, and Paola Giusti-Rodriguez at UNC-Chapel Hill and Flora Vaccarino at Yale University to narrow down areas of the genome previously marked relevant to schizophrenia risk. “Schizophrenia is incredibly complex at every level,” Sullivan said, “from DNA to its clinical mani...
