The genetic factors underlying common disease are largely unknown. Discovery of disease causing genes will transform our knowledge of the genetic contribution to human disease, lead to new genetic screens, and underpin research into new cures and improved lifestyles. The sequencing of the human genome has catalyzed efforts to search for disease genes by the strategy of associating sequence variants with measurable phenotypes. In particular, the Human Genome Project and follow-on efforts to Continue to download »

A number of mammalian genes have different expres- sion patterns depending on whether they are inherited maternally or paternally, a phenomenon known as genomic imprinting. The molecular mechanisms underlying imprinting are the subject of intense research efforts, but no simple story is emerging. It is clear that methylation of cytosine bases is Continue to download »
