We have started a project utilising whole genome sequencing of undiagnosed children living in WA to provide a definitive diagnosis. A major challenge here is that the role and functions of the inter-genic regions of our genome (the remaining 98%) are relatively poorly understood.

We are made up of hundreds of different cell types carrying out a diverse range of functions essential for organism survival. All the information required to specify the morphology, function and response to stimuli of these cells is encoded in identical copies of the genome. The process of gene regu

Current technologies to understand which genes are turned on or off only work on large amounts of biological samples. As a consequence all measurements we receive represent averages across multiple cell types present in the sample. The situation is comparable to studying the contents of a bowl of fr

Our result highlighted that miRNA-target gene network contributes to human disease genetics in a cell type-specific manner

Epigenetic changes at the GFI1 were linked to smoking exposure in-utero/in-adulthood and robustly associated with cardio-metabolic risk factors

A better understanding of the innate immune responses by CF airway epithelial cells is needed to identify why viral infections are more severe in CF

A comprehensive in depth gene expression/regulation profile in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages

We hypothesised that the performance of variant prioriisation tools may vary by disease phenotype.

Epigenetically regulated genes have a great theranostic potential, especially in tumors with no apparent driver mutations.
