Seplyarskiy Lab at UTSW develops methods and theory to better understand origin and consequences of mutations in DNA

 

  • Mechanisms of germline and somatic mutagenesis
  • Deciphering functional effect of mutations using genetic variation in human populations and data somatic tissues
  • Quantifying role of de novo mutations in rare monogenic diseases
