    Equity in Health: Consideration of Race and Ethnicity in Precision Medicine - 5 year(s) ago

    The causes for disparities in implementation of precision medicine are complex, due in part to differences in clinical care and a lack of engagement and recruitment of under-represented populations in studies. New tools and large genetic cohorts can change these circumstances and build access to personalized medicine for disadvantaged populations.

    Meiotic Executioner Genes Protect the Y from Extinction - 5 year(s) ago

    The Y has been described as a wimpy degraded relic of the X, with imminent demise should it lose sex-determining function. Why then has it persisted in almost all mammals? Here we present a novel mechanistic explanation for its evolutionary perseverance: the persistent Y hypothesis. The Y chromosome bears genes that act as their own judge, jury, and executioner in the tightly regulated meiotic…

    A Way Straight-Forward for Leishmania Genetics - 5 year(s) ago

    Genetic exchange between Leishmania parasites was demonstrated in sandflies over 10 years ago. Louradour et al. have shown in vitro hybridization of two Leishmania tropica isolates, with the potential to remove a major roadblock to using forward genetics in Leishmania, understanding Leishmania reproductive biology, and analyzing gene flow in natural populations.

    Deregulated Regulators: Disease-Causing cis Variants in Transcription Factor Genes - 5 year(s) ago

    Whole-genome sequencing is accelerating identification of noncoding variants that disrupt gene expression, although reports of such regulatory variants implicated in disease remain rare. A notable subset of described variants affect transcription factor (TF) genes and other master regulators in cis through dosage effects. From the literature, we compiled 46 regulatory variants linked to 40 TF…

    The invisible university is COVID-19 positive - 5 year(s) ago

    Within the ivory tower, the COVID-19 pandemic stands to disproportionately impact the invisible workforce of postdoctoral researchers. Faced with university closures, hiring freezes and a general lack of support and benefits, an entire generation of Ph.Ds. and their knowledge and skills may be lost to academia without intervention.

    Tracking the genomic footprints of SARS-CoV-2 transmission - 5 year(s) ago

    There is considerable public and scientific interest on the origin, spread and evolution of SARS-CoV-2. A recent study by Lu et al. [1], conducted genomic sequencing and analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in Guangdong, revealing its early transmission out of Hubei and shedding light on the effectiveness of controlling local transmission chains.
