Funded Activity Summary

People vary in traits such as height and blood pressure and in their susceptibility to common disease. Part of these differences between individuals is because of their genetic make-up. This research is about understanding which of the genes are involved in common variation and how they work. In particular, the researchers investigate if variation in DNA sequence causes genes to be expressed more or less and how gene expression affects risk of disease.
