Rosenberg Lab: Mapping Genetic Disease
October 23, 2006 - Snips from the DNA of only 270 people from just four world locations provide a reliable map of genetic disease variations in the human genome for nearly all populations around the world.
Noah Rosenberg's lab reports their findings about how the HapMap is a good indicator for testing human disease genes in a paper to be published in Nature Genetics."...
Noah Rosenberg discovers that human genetic origins may be from Africa
Oct. 17, 2005 - A study on human origins by UM and Stanford researchers, including Dr. Rosenberg, was published in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This same research on human evolution may also be used in tracking and circumventing the geographic spread of disease...
