Mapping Whole-organism Genetic Comorbidities Across Model Species Using Unified Ontologies—A Conversation with Caitlin Peaslee

In this episode of Genetics in Your World, GSA Early Career Scientists Multimedia Subcommittee member Luke Arnce interviews Caitlin Peaslee of the Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy at Oregon Health and Science University about her research. Read her paper titled, "Mapping whole-organism genetic comorbidities across model species using unified ontologies," published in the April 2026 issue of GENETICS: https://doi.org/10.1093/genetics/iyag038

This study developed a cross-species computational framework, CoMo DBM, to analyze 204 mouse genes that caused non-obstructive azoospermia and mapped their phenotype associations across human, zebrafish, fruit fly, and roundworm databases.
