Xiaoxu Yang Lab 

The Yang Lab at the Department of Human Genetics, University of Utah focuses on understanding human health and development by using mosaic variants. Our current research interests include: 

• How environmental factors are shaping the germline mutational landscape. How does this further affect the genetic health of the next generation

• Using mosaic variants as a tool to trace human embryonic development

• How somatic mosaic mutations are causing human disorders

• Develop new computational and experimental methodologies to study mosaicism
