A look at how colds and chronic disease affect DNA expression

...of those fluctuations remain little understood, including how a disease like a cold or a more complex chronic condition affects gene expression. But Michael Snyder, PhD, professor and chair of...

The “exposome” revealed: a barrage of bacteria, chemicals, microscopic animals and more

For two years straight, Michael Snyder, PhD, professor and chair of genetics at Stanford, sported a peculiar accessory -- a little gray box strapped to his bicep. The rather mundane-looking...

Can genome sequencing be used to predict disease? Quite possibly, new research suggests

Genome sequencing is currently tapped to diagnose diseases and to personalize cancer treatments. But can it also be used to predict disease? Michael Snyder, PhD, professor and chair of genetics...
