AboutAbout the lab
Linking diseases and genes with mathematical models.
The Digital Genomics Lab uses mathematical models to search for genetic regions involved in common diseases.
Its targets include not only diseases but also regions involved in other traits.
The lab aims to clarify through what molecular mechanisms the regions it identifies contribute to diseases and traits.
The lab belongs to the Human Genome Center at the Institute of Medical Science.
Key terms
- Mathematical model
- A representation of a phenomenon in mathematical equations. It is used to look for patterns and causes in data.
- Trait
- A characteristic or property that appears in an organism, such as height, constitution, or susceptibility to disease.
- Genetic region (locus)
- A part of the genome (the entire set of DNA information) that is involved in a particular trait.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab makes full use of mathematical models to identify genomic regions involved in common diseases and other traits, and aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind them.
