With CRISPR\/Cas9, one of the most powerful new genomic editing tools of the past decades, it is now possible to edit DNA in a targeted manner, to efficiently switch genes on or off, or to correct specific disease-causing mutations. OMICs technologies provide a range of tools to monitor DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites and other molecules within the cell.<\/p>\n<p>Our Institute is strongly committed and well equipped to seize the immense potential of these new technologies. Our researchers are creative and passionate in continuously devising innovative strategies to identify genetic changes and to analyze their consequences. They uncover disease-associated gene variants, characterize their functional impact, shed new light on fundamental biological processes, explore cellular and molecular processes in aging and aging-related diseases and provide deeper insights into the development and therapy of cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The MutationMining Team (MM Team) is a unique feature of our Institute. Brought together in this multidisciplinary team, clinicians and scientists coming from various backgrounds interpret sequencing data from a clinical genetics perspective to identify novel disease-associated genes and variants in research projects either within the Institute or in collaborations with other research teams.<\/p>\n<p>In all our research we work toward the goal of bridging the gap between science and clinical practice. Our motivation is to improve diagnostics of genetic disorders and to inform development of new therapeutic options.<\/p>\n<p>The projects of our research groups are funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), German Center for Heart and Cardiovascular Research (DZHK), German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and other funding organizations.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221;
