Abstract
The identification of quantitative trait loci, QTL, in arthritis animal models is a straight forward process. However, to identify the underlying genes is a great challenge. One strategy frequently used, is to combine QTL analysis with genomic/proteomic screens. This has resulted in a number of publications where carefully performed genomic analyses present likely candidate genes for their respective QTLs. However, seldom the findings are reconnected to the QTL controlled phenotypes. In this review, we use our own data as an illustrative example that “very likely candidate genes” identified by genomic/proteomics is not necessarily the same as true QTL underlying genes.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
