human genetic
variation contributes to
individual immunity and infectivity and that host genetic differences are one factor among many that interact to influence the infection.
Professor Segal's research has two major directions 1) Gene regulation — using quantitative and computational models to understand how DNA sequence
variation among
human individuals generates phenotypic diversity 2) Microbiome and Nutrition — understanding how the microbial composition of
individuals affect their physiology and health.
The way that these genes — this genetic information percolates down into the
individual, the way this hierarchy percolates down into an
individual might be very different from one person to another and therefore create the kind of infinite ripples or
variations in
human identity that we experience in
human life.
«Genetic recombination is a fundamental process, at the core of reproduction and evolution,» said study author Graham Coop, PhD, post-doctoral fellow in the Department of
Human Genetics at the University of Chicago, «yet we know very little about where it occurs or why there is so much

individuals in this important process.»

Precise mapping of major loci responsible for trait
variation has been accomplished with relatively small numbers of dogs as compared to the large numbers of
individuals required for trait identification in genetically diverse
human populations.
Unfortunately for everyone concerned with climate change, regardless of
individual views about the degree to which it is prompted by
human conduct or a result of natural
variation, it only takes a small number of high profile errors or examples of malpractice to undermine everyone's trust: a crucial point when billions, perhaps trillions, of pounds and dollars could be spent erroneously.
