CRISPR/Cas9 in zebrafish: an efficient combination for human genetic diseases modeling
The next-generation sequencing identifies a growing number of candidate genes associated with human genetic diseases, which inevitably requires efficient methods to validate the causal links between genotype and phenotype.

Gene and Pathway-Based Analysis: Second Wave of Genome-wide Association Studies [PDF]
Despite great success of GWAS in identification of common genetic variants associated with complex diseases, the current GWAS have focused on single SNP analysis.

microRNAs and genetic diseases [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNAs (19-25 nucleotides in length) processed from double-stranded hairpin precursors. They negatively regulate gene expression in animals, by binding, with imperfect base pairing, to target sites in messenger RNAs (

Genome-wide Causation Studies of Complex Diseases [PDF]
Despite significant progress in dissecting the genetic architecture of complex diseases by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the signals identified by association analysis may not have specific pathological relevance to diseases so that a large fraction of disease causing genetic variants is still hidden. Association is used to measure dependence

Mapping the Genetic-Imaging-Clinical Pathway with Applications to Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive form of dementia that results in problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. It often starts with abnormal aggregation and deposition of beta amyloid and tau, followed by neuronal damage such as atrophy of the hippocampi, leading to Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

CRISPR/Cas9 therapeutics: a cure for cancer and other genetic diseases
Cancer is caused by a series of alterations in genome and epigenome mostly resulting in activation of oncogenes or inactivation of cancer suppressor genes.

Histopathology of the gut in rheumatic diseases [PDF]
The gastrointestinal tract regulates the trafficking of macromolecules between the environment and the host through an epithelial barrier mechanism and is an important part of the immune system controlling the equilibrium between tolerance and immunity ...
