About this Research Topic
ordinary people.
This research Topic invites scientists from various disciplines, including oncology, neuroscience, cardiology, pediatrics, pathophysiology, physiology, psychiatry, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and computational biology to submit original research articles, technological reviews, and perspectives using structural variants and hereditary and epigenetic fusion genes to study human diseases. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Associations between structural variants and human diseases and complex traits.
- Associations between hereditary fusion genes and human diseases and complex traits.
- Understanding genetic and environmental abnormalities to activate dormant hereditary
fusion genes during development.
- Understanding genetic and environmental abnormalities to activate epigenetic
(readthrough) fusion genes during development.
- Evaluate technological advances in studying structural variants.
- Methods, technologies, and algorithms to accurately identify long tandem gene
duplications.
- Universe systems to accurately name, store, retrieve, and exchange structural variants and
fusion genes.
- Open access databases of structural variants.
- Open access databases of fusion genes.
Keywords: gene structural variants; disease; fusion genes
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
