Research Interests
- Studies on the role of SNPs in gene action. This field gradually demands interest in Whole genome era. Gene association in polygenic diseases also influenced by SNPs. Linkage disequilibrium analysis of SNPs are now opening yet unknown association of genes associated for inheritance of many diseases silently. Present interest of research is to look into the association of SNPs in different genes on a chromosome in a particular disease through linkage disequilibrium analysis. Functional characterization of SNPs for differential gene action utilizing Whole Genome databases, predicting association of SNPs for diseases development and genotype distribution with in cohorts.
