Jan Veldink, PhD shares how integrative genomics has helped drive his ALS research, leading to the discovery that NEK1 is an ALS gene. He highlights why using a combination of methods including GWAS, whole genome sequencing, and whole exome sequencing was critical to his teams’ NEK1 breakthrough. He also describes how integrating methylation data with genomic data may help to develop a complete picture of the disease.
