With genome-wide association analyses and meta-analyses, researchers identified gout-associated loci, genes, and pathways, pointing to possible treatment options.

Researchers explored the genetics of autosomal recessive developmental disorders in two large, diverse cohorts, linking some 84 percent of cases to known disease genes.

Using exome sequence data for postmenopausal UK Biobank participants, researchers focused on genes containing rare variants linked to age at natural menopause.

Researchers identified three early gut microbiome community states and corresponding pioneer microbes with metagenomic data from the UK Baby Biome Study.

Researchers analyzed metagenomic sequence data for more than 2,500 food samples, detecting over 1,000 prokaryotic and greater than 100 eukaryotic species.

Using data for almost 490,400 UK Biobank participants, researchers analyzed variants and genes associated with telomere length.

Based on almost 68,000 predicted structures for viral proteins, researchers gained insights into their evolutionary relationships and function.

Researchers scoured dozens of tumor genome sequences to identify roles for active and inactive X chromosome sequences in Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma.

Researchers computationally analyzed human microbiome metagenomic datasets to identify peptides or proteins with activity against pathogenic bacteria.

Researchers identified 15 subtypes of T-lineage ALL, along with mutation, expression, and regulatory shifts providing development and prognostic clues.
