PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 9-Sep-2014 Contact: Holly Evarts holly.evarts@columbia.edu 347-453-7408 Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science New York, NYSeptember 9, 2014Led by Itsik Pe'er, associate professor of computer science at Columbia Engineering, a team of researchers has created a data resource that will improve genomic research in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and lead to more effective personalized medicine. The team, which includes experts from 11 labs in the New York City area and Israel, focused on the Ashkenazi Jewish population because of its demographic history of genetic isolation and the resulting abundance of population-specific mutations and high prevalence of rare genetic disorders. The Ashkenazi Jewish population has played an important role in human genetics, with notable successes in gene mapping as well as prenatal and cancer screening.
