A publication in Nature reports the data release of around 245,000 clinical-grade whole-genome sequences as part of the NIH’s All of Us Research Programme. Several companion papers highlight the value of better capturing global genomic diversity.
A study in Science reports that corn snakes use both PRDM9 and promoter-like features to direct meiotic recombination, indicating that these are not mutually exclusive.
A study in Nature Genetics identifies many regulators of genome-wide chromatin accessibility and then reports the mechanistic underpinnings for one of the identified transcription factors.
In this Journal Club, Hajk-Georg Drost highlights a recent study by Pavlopoulos et al. that organizes proteins at tree-of-life scale using massively parallel graph-based clustering.
Vincent Courdavault and Nicolas Papon highlight two articles in Nature, published in 2006 and 2013, that reported the biosynthesis of a complex natural plant product to treat malaria in engineered yeast.
Amnon Koren recalls two papers from 2001 and 2002 that laid the foundations for a new field by using microarrays to measure DNA replication timing across the genome.
In this Review, the authors describe the evolutionary conservation and divergence of the meiotic recombination machinery, focusing on proteins that are required for meiotic double-strand break formation, double-strand break repair via homologous recombination and the formation of crossover and non-crossover recombinant DNA molecules.
In this Review, the authors summarize and discuss guidelines for omics benchmarking. They highlight common oversights and difficulties, offer guidance for frequently encountered issues and provide a structured form that can be used for comprehensive reporting of benchmarking studies.
In this Review, the authors summarize the biological roles of chromatin remodellers and describe the complex mechanisms that underpin their specific functions, with an emphasis on evidence from large-scale genetic studies.
In this Perspective, Carolyn Hogg discusses the utility of genomic data to conservation and the importance of adopting a translational mindset to ensure that genomics is used to its full potential to protect Earths’ declining biodiversity.
