The Genomics Landscape
In the June 2018 issue of The Genomics Landscape, NHGRI Director Eric Green highlights the success of The Cancer Genome Atlas.
Research at NHGRI
The Genetic Disease Research Branch studies how genetic changes affect the structure and function of gene products leading to human disease.
The Genomics Landscape
In the August 6, 2020 edition of The Genomics Landscape, Dr. Eric Green talks about NHGRI's completion of the third phase of the ENCODE Project and how it reveals the most extensive catalog to date of candidate functional elements that may regulate the genes in the human and mouse genomes.
News Release
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues have identified genomic variants that cause a rare and severe inflammatory skin disorder, known as disabling pansclerotic morphea, and have found a potential treatment.
Diversity Center
Meharry Medical College establishes a Diversity Center for Genome Research (DCGR) that will narrow inequitable representation gaps for underrepresented, disadvantaged minority by realizing their vision to promote African ancestry genomic research through infrastructure building and the formation of basic, clinical, and computational science research teams that are inclusive, interdisciplinary, and community-engaged.
News Release
Over the last 20 years, three families have been unknowingly linked to one another by an unknown illness. Researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and other organizations have now identified the cause of the illness, a new disease called CRIA syndrome. The results of their work were published on Dec. 11 in the journal Nature.
Genetic Disorders
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the bowel, usually diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 - 30.
Staff
Dr. Shurjo Sen is a program director in NHGRI's Division of Genome Sciences who manages a portfolio of grants focused upon genomic data sciences, and is particularly interested in transitioning genomics from a centralized data repository model to cloud-based collaborative science.
News Release
NIH researchers identified a novel role for a gene known as heat shock protein 60, finding it is critical in tissue regeneration and wound healing.
Research at NHGRI
The Metabolic Medicine Branch houses clinical and laboratory research programs that focus on the development of new therapies for patients with genetic disorders.
