Welcome to the Center for Integrative Genomics at Georgia Tech. We are a virtual affiliation of researchers interested in the application of genome-wide research strategies to diverse biological themes. In our center we – conduct quantitative genetic analysis of genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, metabolomes, and phenomes; foster partnerships within the School of Biology, across Georgia Tech, and with collaborators in the Atlanta region; and study the complex interaction between genes, culture, and the environment in an evolutionary context.
Events
CIG Journal Club
In this bi-weekly Population Genetics and Predictive Health Journal Club, we discuss papers related to all aspects of complex human genetics.

JORDAN GROUP
SCG JC
This meeting brings together diverse researchers across the GT campus including GTRI, who have interests in single-cell genomics.
Maggie Brown
“Molecular features driving cellular complexity of human
brain evolution”
GIBSON GROUP
CIGars
These monthly advanced research seminars feature two presentations by graduate students and postdocs. Although aimed directly to graduate students and postdocs, the community is invited to attend.
Ujani Hazra
“Differences in disease burdens across human populations are governed more by neutral evolution than by recent polygenic selection”
Aaron Pfennig
“The evolutionary fate of Neanderthal introgression in recently admixed African-American genomes”
