Germline Mutagenesis Traced Back to Meiotic Breaks, Error-Prone Repair
By mapping mutations in relation to recombination hotspots, researchers revealed mutagenic effects of meiotic DNA breaks and error-prone repair mechanisms.
A Cambridge University study found phrases touting the benefits of genomics research without acknowledging limitations can turn off the very people researchers need to engage most.
Type 2 Diabetes Multi-Ancestry GWAS Enables Risk Prediction Across Populations
With data for more than 180,800 cases and some 1.2 million controls, researchers found hundreds of genetic risk loci and developed multi-ancestry risk scores.
HIV Sequencing Study in Netherlands Uncovers Virulent Variant Mutations, History
Along with analyses focused on de novo mutations contributing to virulence and transmissibility, researchers traced the HIV-1 VB variant back to at least the early 1990s.
