The Advanced Precision Medicine Laboratory at JAX is offering a fully validated, clinical whole genome sequencing test, the only one currently available in Connecticut.
With support from the Human Frontier Science Program, J. Travis Hinson aims to determine the fundamental biophysical and structural principles that form the sarcomere during biogenesis.
JAX was proud to participate in the 2023 Congressional Life Sciences Fair. The fair serves to expose US Members of Congress and their staff to the biomedical research community.
Paul Robson is leading a JAX team as part of the Human BioMolecular Atlas Program. A new paper in Nature Cell Biology presents the work done to date to establish the program’s frameworks as well as future steps.
Pille Hallast's recent work, published in Nature, reveals the complexities of the male sex chromosome. She sits down with us and discusses her research in her own words.
New research presents the complete sequences of multiple human Y chromosomes from lineages from around the globe for the first time. This provides an essential step forward in understanding the roles of the Y chromosome in human evolution and biology.
Gary Churchill and his team are working to identify signature signs of aging-related decline and have identified protein changes across ten tissue types that depend on age and sex.
