KAUST Assistant Professor Robert Hoehndorf is participating in a worldwide collaborative effort to more fully understand mouse and human genomes. Many universities all over the world are working together in this study to better understand human diseases and how to treat them.How much do model organism phenotypes contribute to the computational identification of human disease genes? PhD Student Sarah M Alghamdi from the Bio-Ontology Research Group (BORG) explains how phenotype ontologies help in identifying disease genes through phenotype comparison. Her research was picked as a highlight in the July 2022 issue of Disease Models and Mechanisms Journal.
