CBMi and BiC Create a Powerful New Resource for Researchers Studying Human Illness- A Reference Standard of Deletions and Duplications of DNA Found in the Human Genome:
CBMi and BiC colead a genetic study of over 2000 healthy individuals, creating one of the most in-depth genetic maps of copy number variations to date.The study was published online on July 10 in the journal Genome Research.

CBMi Study Identifies Neurodevelopmental Pathways Preferentially Aberrant in Children with ADHD:
CBMi researchers have identified hundreds of gene variations that occur more frequently in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than in children without ADHD. Many of those genes were already known to be important for learning, behavior, brain function and neurodevelopment, but had not been previously associated with ADHD.
