Genetic Coevolution: Transposable Elements and their Impact on Disease Development in Humans

Gillian K. McNeil - Transposable elements (TEs), also referred to as ‘jumping genes’, are sequences of DNA located in the eukaryotic genome that have the ability to mobilize. This functional mobilization allows TEs to insert at random positions throughout the genome. It is... Keep Reading »

Intergenerational Intimate Partner Violence: Pathways of Genetic and Environmental Interactions

Clare Choi - Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue that results in social, psychological, emotional, and physical consequences. Although interventions may be continuously designed to combat this problem, IPV must first be understood in an intergenerational... Keep Reading »

Studying Ancient DNA to Understand Contemporary Disease

Wafaa Khatau - The study of DNA and genetics has always been a large mystery to many scientists. The current Ancient DNA (aDNA) research on human history is more complex than what can be inferred from modern DNA research. Scientists and researchers are constantly using modern day... Keep Reading »

Genetics, Pathology, & Potential Future Advances in the Study of Huntington's Disease

Matthew D. Rose - Huntington’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects around five people in every 100,000. It is caused by an increase in a polyglutamine region of the Huntingtin protein, resulting in a toxic gain of function mutation. However, the exact... Keep Reading »
