Heritable Mutation & Disease SIG News
Latest Updates and Announcements
The Heritable Mutation and Disease Special Interest Group is for scientists interested in heritable mutagenesis, the challenges of finding human genomic DNA damaging agents, germ-cell and stem-cell mutagens, and the consequences of these mutations to health.
Interests
- The study of germ cell biology as it relates to heritable mutagenesis.
- Characterization of heritable (germline) mutagenesis in the etiology of disease.
- Determining if deleterious heritable mutations arise through actions of exogenous chemical, physical or biological agents.
- Interpreting the consequences of heritable alterations to the devising methods through use of new technologies for studying presumptive human mutagens.
- Understanding new processes (e.g., epigenetics) and their role in genomic stability.
- Serving as a focal point for discussions of heritable genomic and stem-cell mutagenesis research.
