While the cost of whole genome sequencing (WGS) is approaching the realm of routine medical tests, it remains too tardy to help guide the management of many acute medical conditions.

Growth disorders caused by variants in epigenetic regulators: progress and prospects
Epigenetic modifications play an important role in regulation of transcription and gene expression. The molecular machinery governing epigenetic modifications, also known as epigenetic regulators, include non-coding RNA, chromatin remodelers, and enzymes

GemTools: A fast and efficient approach to estimating genetic ancestry [PDF]
To uncover the genetic basis of complex disease, individuals are often measured at a large number of genetic variants (usually SNPs) across the genome. GemTools provides computationally efficient tools for modeling genetic ancestry based on SNP genotypes.

Analysis of DTC nutrigenetic services in Italy: state of the art, agreement to the ESHG statement and future outlooks [PDF]
Background: In both USA and Europe operate companies selling Direct-to-consumer genetic tests (DTC). These tests are offered to healthy people aiming to identify predispositions to complex diseases and to take preventive measures.

Integrated analysis of variants and pathways in genome-wide association studies using polygenic models of disease [PDF]
Many common diseases are highly polygenic, modulated by a large number genetic factors with small effects on susceptibility to disease. These small effects are difficult to map reliably in genetic association studies. To address this problem, researchers have developed methods that aggregate information over sets of related genes, such as biological ...

Supervised Heterogeneous Multiview Learning for Joint Association Study and Disease Diagnosis [PDF]
Given genetic variations and various phenotypical traits, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) features, we consider two important and related tasks in biomedical research: i)to select genetic and phenotypical markers for disease diagnosis and ii) to identify associations between genetic and phenotypical data.
