Core domains in human genetics research, from molecular mechanisms to clinical applications.

Gene Expression & Regulation

Transcriptional control, epigenetic modifications, enhancer-promoter interactions, and tissue-specific expression patterns across the human genome.

Genetic Variation & SNPs

Single nucleotide polymorphisms, copy number variants, structural variations, and their roles in phenotypic diversity and disease susceptibility.

Hereditary Disease Genetics

Mendelian disorders, polygenic risk scores, genotype-phenotype correlations, and genetic counseling for inherited conditions.

Gene Therapy & CRISPR

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, base editing, prime editing, AAV delivery vectors, and clinical gene therapy trials for genetic diseases.

Population Genetics

Allele frequencies, genetic drift, founder effects, admixture mapping, and ancestry inference across global human populations.

Pharmacogenomics

How genetic variation affects drug metabolism (CYP450 polymorphisms), efficacy, and adverse reactions. Precision medicine applications.
