Human Genome Epidemiology Network, or HuGENet, is a global collaboration of individuals and organizations committed to the assessment of the impact of human genome variation on population health and how genetic information can be used to improve health and prevent disease. Its goals include: establishing an information exchange that promotes global collaboration in developing peer-reviewed information on the relationship between human genomic variation and health and on the quality of genetic tests for screening and prevention; providing training and technical assistance to researchers and practitioners interested in assessing the role of human genomic variation on population health and how such information can be used in practice; developing an updated and accessible knowledge base on the World Wide Web; and promoting the use of this knowledge base by health care providers, researchers, industry, government, and the public for making decisions involving the use of genetic information for disease prevention and health promotion. HuGENet collaborators come from multiple disciplines such as epidemiology, genetics, clinical medicine, policy, public health, education, and biomedical sciences. Currently, there are 4 HuGENet Coordinating Centers for the implementation of HuGENet activities: CDC''s Office of Public Health Genomics, Atlanta, Georgia; HuGENet UK Coordinating Center, Cambridge, UK; University of Ioannina, Greece; University of Ottawa , Ottawa, Canada. HuGENet includes: HuGE e-Journal Club: The HuGE e-Journal Club is an electronic discussion forum where new human genome epidemiologic (HuGE) findings, published in the scientific literature in the CDC''s Office of Public Health Genomics Weekly Update, will be abstracted, summarized, presented, and discussed via a newly created HuGENet listserv. HuGE Reviews: A HuGE Review identifies human genetic variations at one or more loci, and describes what is known about the frequency of these variants in different populations, identifies diseases that these variants are associated with and summarizes the magnitude of risks and associated risk factors, and evaluates associated genetic tests. Reviews point to gaps in existing epidemiologic and clinical knowledge, thus stimulating further research in these areas. HuGE Fact Sheets: HuGE Fact Sheets summarize information about a particular gene, its variants, and associated diseases. HuGE Case Studies: An on-line presentation designed to sharpen your epidemiological skills and enhance your knowledge on genomic variation and human diseases. Its purpose is to train health professionals in the practical application of human genome epidemiology (HuGE), which translates gene discoveries to disease prevention by integrating population-based data on gene-disease relationships and interventions. Students will acquire conceptual and practical tools for critically evaluating the growing scientific literature in specific disease areas. HUGENet Publications: Articles related to the HuGENet movement written by our HuGENet collaborators. HuGE Navigator: An integrated, searchable knowledge base of genetic associations and human genome epidemiology, including information on population prevalence of genetic variants, gene-disease associations, gene-gene and gene- environment interactions, and evaluation of genetic tests.

The Vietnam Era Twin (VET) Registry is a closed cohort composed of approximately 7,000 middle-aged male-male twin pairs both of whom served in the military during the time of the Vietnam conflict (1964-1975). The Registry is a United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) resource that was originally constructed from military records; the Registry has been in existence for almost 20 years. It is one of the largest national twin registries in the US and currently has members living in all 50 states. Initially formed to address questions about the long-term health effects of service in Vietnam, the Registry has evolved into a resource for genetic epidemiological studies of mental and physical health conditions. Several waves of mail and telephone surveys have collected a wealth of health-related information on Registry twins, referred to as members. In addition to twins, selected adult offspring of twins and the mothers of those offspring are also VET Registry members. More recent data collection efforts have focused on specific sets of twin pairs and have conducted detailed clinical or laboratory testing. Selected Vietnam Era Registry Research Studies: * Veteran Health Study * VETSA 2: A Longitudinal Study of Cognitive Aging * Alcoholism Course thought Midlife: A Twin Family Study and Offspring of Twins: G, E and GxE Risk for Alcoholism * GE: Offspring of Twins with Substance Use Disorder * Mechanisms Linking Depression to Cardiovascular Risk (Twins Heart Study 2) * Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Cardiovascular Disease * Biological Markers for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (T3) * Memory and the Hippocampus in Vietnam-era Twins with PTSD (Time 3)

The FANTOM consortium is an international collaborative research project initiated and organized by the RIKEN Omics Science Center. In earlier FANTOM efforts we cloned and annotated 103,000 full-length cDNAs from mouse and distributed them to researchers throughout the world. FANTOM1-3 focused on identifying the transcribed components of mammalian cells. This work improved estimates of the total number of genes and their alternative transcript isoforms in both human and mouse, expanded gene families, and revealed that a large fraction of the transcriptome is non-coding. In addition, with the development of Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) FANTOM3 could map a large fraction of transcription start sites and revise our models of promoter structure. This updated web resource provides the previous FANTOM results mapped to current genome builds and presents the results of FANTOM4. In FANTOM4 the focus has changed to understanding how these components work together in the context of a biological network. Using deepCAGE (deep sequencing with CAGE) we monitored the dynamics of transcription start site (TSS) usage during a time course of monocytic differentiation in the acute myeloid leukemia cell line THP-1. This allowed us to identify active promoters, monitor their relative expression and define relevant regions for carrying out transcription factor binding site predictions. Computational methods were then used to build a network model of gene expression in this leukemia and the transcription factors key to its regulation. This work gives the first picture of the wiring between genes involved in acute myeloid leukemia and provides a strategy for identifying key factors that determine cell fates. In addition to the network, FANTOM4 data was used in two additional analyses. The first identified a novel class of short RNAs associated with transcription start sites and the second focused on the role of repetitive element expression in the transcriptome. TOOLS *Genome Browser: graphical display of genomic features, such as promoters, exon structures, H3K9 acetylation, transcription factors positioning on the genome, coupled with gene and promoter activities. *EdgeExpressDB: regulatory interactions, such as transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional silencing with miRNA, and PPI, coupled with gene and promoter activities. *SwissRegulon: FANTOM4 TF regulation is predicted using Motif Activity Response Analysis (MARA) developed by Erik van Nimwegen at Biozentrum.
