This Review discusses how rare-disease-causing variants in the noncoding genome impact gene regulation, why these examples are so few and how new approaches could accelerate discovery of noncoding var...

Isoforms are seldom considered in genetic variant interpretation. Here the authors map common and rare variants to alternative isoforms, which can be highly expressed and tissue-specific. A common DPP...

Author summary Individual humans show widely varying responses to viral infection, including from SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. Part of this variation is driven by host genetic factors, where gen...

Our expanded Centers of Excellence network is here — 8 designated centers, 10+ lead investigators, and the people turning lived experience into discovery. See who's part of Mission Possible.

Recessive diseases arise from the combined effects of two alleles, yet most variant interpretation methods consider variants individually. Çubuk et al. map more than 8,000 variants in the recessive en...

Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) strongly influences 3D genome organization, mediating local chromatin compaction and clustering of target loci. Several PRC1 subunits have the capacity to form bio...

Boards asked to recommend just three applications for funding, as BBSRC also suspends calls

In mice, a SPOCD1–TPR-dependent ‘nowhere-to-hide’ mechanism is required for complete non-stochastic piRNA-directed LINE1 DNA methylation by preventing transposons from escaping surveillance within heterochromatin.

Letters: Dr Robin Lovell-Badge and Prof Emma Robinson respond to an editorial on using new technologies to reduce the reliance on animal experiments

An ambitious synthetic biology project involving researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Cancer (IGC) has been awarded £5m to test a fundamental rule of life - how the information regulating co...

Extrachromosomal, circular DNA (ecDNA) is a prevalent oncogenic alteration in cancer genomes, often associated with aggressive tumor behavior and poor patient outcome. While previous studies proposed a chromatin-based mobile enhancer model for ecDNA-driven oncogenesis, its precise mechanism and impa …
