2 Pages“Easy-to-Use” SNP & Variation Suite Assists John Curtin, PhD in Uncovering Genetic Associations for Asthma and Allergies Dr. John Curtin is a Lecturer in Functional Genomics at the University of Manchester where he works with a large team studying the development of asthma in a birth cohort. This group has received data on study subjects periodically for over a decade including before birth. Given how much data there is, data management is a big deal to Dr. Curtin. The study is called the Manchester Asthma and Allergy Study (MAAS, www. maas.org.uk) and was started in 1996 at the University of Manchester “to identify risk factors for the development of asthma and allergies.” The study has nearly 1,000 participants and follows up every few years. The pervasiveness and impact o
