Material below is adapted from the SfN Short Course Interpreting Human Genetic Variation With In Vivo Zebrafish Assays, by Erica E. Davis, PhD, Stephan Frangakis, and Nicholas Katsanis, PhD. Short Courses are daylong scientific trainings on emerging neuroscience topics and research techniques held the day before SfN’s annual meeting.
Amidst the accelerating pace of gene discovery lies the realization that each individual’s genome contain a sobering degree variation containing hundreds of mutations and variants — many of them rare. Accurately interpreting the biological relevance of this variation poses considerable challenges to traditional methods of studying human genetic disorders.
