With the emergence of NGS technologies, and sequencing data most of the bioinformaticians mung and wrangle around massive amounts of genomics text. There are several "standardized" file formats (FASTQ, SAM, VCF, etc.) and some tools for manipulating...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of genetic variation in humans—and many other organisms. A single base change in the DNA sequence (for example, an A instead of a G) can influence everything from our eye color to...

What can we learn from people with the genetics to get sick — who don't? With most inherited diseases, only some family members will develop the disease, while others who carry the same genetic risks dodge it. Stephen Friend suggests we start...
