Human Genetic Disease
Advances in human genetics research are improving our understanding of an increasingly broad spectrum of diseases. Model systems, from in vitro cell-based cultures to large animal models, are essential for both the study of the underlying mechanisms and the development of effective therapies. This collection highlights the many ways in which model systems work in concert with human genetics to help diagnose and treat disease.
