The Erwin Lab studies the functional role of repetitive DNA, the final frontier of the human genome. Studying repetitive DNA sequences has historically been hindered by a lack of experimental and ...
Repetitive elements make up over 50% of the human genome. Recent advances in long-read sequencing experimental approaches and data analysis algorithms have made it possible to characterize these ...
Dr. Jeannine Gerhardt, an assistant professor of stem cell biology in obstetrics and gynecology and in reproductive medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, has received a five-year, $2.1 million grant ...
In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology Sophie Gillett, looked at regions of human genetic code that are known for ...

Structural variations (SVs), including insertions, deletions, inversions, and substitutions, can profoundly influence gene ...
Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.
Robertsonian chromosomes (ROB) are a type of structurally variant chromosome that is created when two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. Found commonly in nature, these chromosomes are ...
Dr. Graham Erwin, assistant professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor College of Medicine, has been awarded the National Institutes of Health Director’s New Innovator Award. This highly ...
