| Current Research | |
| | |
|
| My laboratory focuses on the molecular characterization of human chromosome abnormalities. Molecular methods
such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping using YAC or BAC clones, microsatellite allelotyping,
and sequencing analysis of SNP variants and gene mutations have been used. We are initiating high through-put
chromosome-specific and genome-wide array-based analysis for mapping segmental deletions/duplication and
sequencing rearrangement breakpoints. The goals of this laboratory are to identify disease-causing genes or
genetic markers of diagnostic and prognostic values, and to dissect underlying molecular mechanisms.
