Funded Activity Summary

Candidate disease gene prediction systems assist geneticists by using biological data to suggest genes likely to be causative of diseases in regions of the genome delineated by genetic studies. This area has been enabled by completion of the Human Genome Project and increased availability of high-throughput experimental data and sophisticated bioinformatic tools. Identification of disease genes will contribute to an understanding of disease, as well as its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
