Biowulf Seminar: How to Build a Dog in 2,392,715,236 Simple Steps

Wednesday, February 21, 2018, 11:00:00 AM, 1 hour.

Description: Biowulf Seminar Series

The Biowulf seminar series continues with talks by Biowulf users. The first such seminar features Heidi Parker, the Senior Staff Scientist for the Dog Genome Project at NHGRI

The NHGRI Dog Genome Project at NIH and focuses on the genetics of health and body structure in the domestic dog. We are particularly interested in the variation represented in individual dog breeds, which allows us to focus on locating genes involved in both canine cancer and the morphologic traits. Our research yields not only an understanding of how genes interact to create the modern dog breeds we see today and how we can keep our four-legged friends happy and healthy, but also insight into the health and disease of their two-legged caregivers.
