Ryan E. Mills' research focuses on structural genomic variation across human populations and somatic mosaicism in non-cancerous tissues. His work includes developing computational methods for identifying copy number variants, nuclear mitochondrial insertions, and mobile element dynamics using whole genome sequencing and cloud-based systems like AWS. He investigates the role of somatic mutations in brain aging and neurodevelopmental disorders, and explores HPV integration mechanisms in head and neck cancers.
Recent publications highlight his contributions to resolving complex structural variants, characterizing somatic mosaicism across tissues, and advancing computational frameworks for genomic data integration. His lab collaborates extensively through consortia such as the Brain Somatic Mosaicism Network and the Somatic Mosaicism across Human Tissues Network.
