Case-control association mapping without cases

This paper demonstrates genome-wide association studies using family history of disease instead of cases, identifying new risk loci for Alzheimer's, coronary artery disease, and type 2 diabetes.

Democratizing DNA Fingerprinting

This paper presents a method to re-identify human DNA using the MinION sequencer, enabling rapid, low-input, and portable DNA fingerprinting with forensic and ethical implications.

Population-Scale Sequencing Data Enables Precise Estimates of Y-STR Mutation Rates

This study estimates Y-STR mutation rates using population-scale sequencing data and identifies factors influencing mutation rates and their genomic impact.

A vision for ubiquitous sequencing

This paper envisions applications and outlines barriers for ubiquitous sequencing sensors that enable real-time, low-cost DNA sequencing in various domains.

Redefining Genomic Privacy: Trust and Empowerment

This paper proposes trust-enabling techniques to reconcile genomic privacy with data sharing by introducing principles and a framework for genetic research.

Routes for breaching and protecting genetic privacy

The paper maps threats to genetic privacy and discusses mitigation strategies for privacy-preserving genetic data sharing.
