Department Statement/Gen Info  
CEMI is located within the Biodesign Institute on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University. Evolutionary Medicine is an emerging discipline at the intersection of medicine, genomics, and evolution. It uses evolutionary knowledge to identify functionally important parts of genomes and to predict functional consequences of variations in populations and individuals.  By pursuing integrated computer analytical (in silico) and experimental biological approaches, we are making it feasible to evaluate the importance of different parts of the genome and infer the origins and propagation of genetic mutations, with the goal of translating this information in order to ease human suffering and treat disease.  More information about CEMI¿s software applications can be found at http://cemi.asu.edu.
