The university has renamed its genomics center, specializing in the gut microbiome, the Edison Family Center for Genome Sciences and Systems Biology.

Results from up to eight stages of mouse or human retina development highlight the importance of histone modifications and other epigenetic shifts during differentiation.

Researchers reported that structural variants also tend to have larger effect sizes than single-nucleotide variants or insertions and deletions.

The technology, called Tunr, involves targeting translation elongation by introducing consecutive adenosine nucleotides into a gene coding sequence of interest.

Protein patterns in patient-derived xenografts sometimes pointed to different alterations than those predicted from somatic mutation and expression data.

The funding will, in part, support efforts to expand the project's catalog of functional elements and understand their roles in different contexts.
