Research on Tap: Understanding the Rules of Life: Predicting Phenotype (2017)
One of the biggest challenges in translational research is the development of methods to predict phenotype—an organism’s physical characteristics—from what we know about the genome and environment. Unpacking phenotypic complexity will require the convergence of research across biology, computer science, medicine, engineering, and others.* This Research on Tap, hosted by Richard Myers, Director, BU Genome Science Institute, and Professor, Neurology, MED; and Anita DeStefano, Associate Director, BU Genome Science Institute, and Professor, Biostatistics and Neurology, SPH and MED, presented what BU faculty are doing to unlock the mysteries of the phenotype.
