Find genetic signals
Human genetics can reveal regions of the genome associated with disease susceptibility, severity and outcome.

Understanding the genetics of complex disease.
InsideGen is an educational resource that explains the genetics and biology of complex diseases using evidence from human genetics research. Our goal is to make current knowledge accessible to researchers, clinicians, students, patients and the wider public.

Genetics Biology Data integrationWhy InsideGen
Complex disease needs a connected explanation.
Most common diseases are shaped by many genetic variants alongside environmental, behavioural and biological influences. InsideGen brings these layers together without losing sight of uncertainty, context or the people affected.
Our approach
From evidence to understanding
Understand biology
Connecting genetic evidence to genes, cells and pathways helps explain the mechanisms underlying complex disease.
Make evidence accessible
Clear explanations and open resources help more people understand what current research can—and cannot—tell us.
Explore by disease
Current disease resourceSystemic lupus erythematosus
Explore what human genetics has revealed about lupus susceptibility, immune biology and shared mechanisms, alongside research publications and data resources.
Additional complex-disease resources can be added here over time.
