The Department of Genome Sciences was established in September 2001 with the merger of the Departments of Genetics in the College of Arts and Sciences and Molecular Biotechnology in the School of Medicine. The Department of Genome Sciences is located in the School of Medicine and investigates questions in biology and medicine by developing and applying genetic, genomic and computational approaches that take advantage of genomic information now available for humans, model organisms and a host of other species. Faculty study a broad range of topics, including the genetics of E. coli, yeast, C. elegans, Drosophila, and mouse; human and medical genetics; mathematical, statistical and computer methods for analyzing genomes, and theoretical and evolutionary genetics; and genome-wide studies by such approaches as sequencing, transcriptional and translational analysis, polymorphism detection and identification of protein interactions.
