Welcome to the Shriver Laboratory!
Our Mission
- Human population genomics
- Mapping genes for complex phenotypes using admixture linkage disequilibrium
- Mapping genes for common diseases (e.g. NIDDM, obesity, and hypertension)
- The genetics of normal variation in common traits (e.g. skin and hair pigmentation, facial features and tooth phenotypes)
- The construction and application of a US admixture map
- High-throughput genotyping assays for SNPs
