Stem cell mutations linked to hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is characterized by a dangerous buildup of pressure on the brain caused by excessive amounts of fluid. Researchers have long believed that the condition, which affects one of every thousand babies born, was caused by excessive production of cerebral spinal fluid or an inability of the brain to properly absorb it.

Yale Center for Biomedical Data Science is about ‘positive impact’
Big data is getting bigger. By 2025, genomics will have surpassed astronomy, Twitter, and YouTube to become the largest data-generating enterprise by far. What began 65 years ago when Watson, Crick, and Franklin unlocked the double helix of DNA has become, in just the past few years, an exponentially growing archive of individual genomes. Yale’s Center for Genome Analysis actually holds the ninth largest genomic library in the world.

Gene sequencing at Yale finding personalized root of disease; new center opens in West Haven
Our genes define our individuality, including what diseases to which we may be susceptible. In just a few days, gene-sequencing machines can map all of a person’s genes, revealing the cause of a genetic illness and even suggesting the best possible treatment. On Monday, the Yale School of Medicine, partnering with Yale New Haven Hospital, took the next step toward personalized medicine, cutting the ribbon on its Center for Genome Analysis on Yale’s West Campus.
