Mammalian, Bird Sequencing Projects Highlight Genetic Diversity, Extinction Risk
The Zoonomia Project and the Bird 10,000 Genomes Project have reported new genome sequences that could inform conservation and other efforts.
Glioblastoma Brain Tumor Treatment Strategies Stem From Pharmacogenomic Analysis
By screening more than 1,500 drugs against patient-derived glioblastoma cells, researchers tracked down tumor alterations with apparent ties to proteasome inhibitor response.
Glioblastoma Genomes Point to Non-Coding Driver Mutations
Researchers analyzed evolutionarily constrained non-coding mutations in genome sequences from dozens of glioblastoma patients, identifying regulation-related changes.
Blood Cell Transcriptome Atlas Enables Study of Immune Disorders
Investigators analyzed the expression of protein-coding genes in 18 blood immune cell populations, comparing the expression profiles with those in other cell and tissue types.
Visceral Adiposity GWAS Identifies Hundreds of Genetic Loci
A Mendelian randomization analysis found visceral fat to be linked to cardiometabolic disease risk, especially type 2 diabetes risk in women.
