ROH-DICE is an efficient method for detecting ROH clusters in biobank data, enabling the study of population history of large cohorts, and providing a new genome-wide association analysis approach for finding disease-causing loci with multi-marker recessive effects.

Genetic and biochemical characterization reveals how a single amino acid change in the chromodomain of the HP1 protein Rhino enables its specific interaction with the guidance factor Kipferl.

Neuron-specific sequencing of aged wild-type, daf-2, and daf-16;daf-2 mutants revealed transcriptomic changes with age, and in longevity mutants, putative neuroprotective genes are upregulated, which are required for prolonged cognitive functions.

Computational analysis reveals that additive summary statistics from genome-wide association studies can provide evidence of non-additive heritability in complex traits.

As a result of frequent gene duplication and haplotypic variation, a family of immune genes in the model vertebrate zebrafish has thousands of gene copies that are population- or individual-specific.

Molecular genetic analyses of ASARs reveals regulation of large-scale mammalian chromosome structure and function that includes long non-coding RNAs and nuclear RNA binding proteins as essential regulators of chromosome dynamics.

Uninterrupted CAG repeat length determines onset age in Huntington's disease, and therefore, base editing strategies to generate CAA interruption offer new therapeutic opportunities as they diminish the disease-causing mutation.
