Genome-wide analyses identify 60 loci associated with liver triglyceride content

Genome-wide association analyses of liver triglyceride content in 71,488 UK Biobank participants identify 60 independent loci and yield polygenic scores correlated with higher risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

The landscape of gene loss and missense variation across the mammalian tree informs on gene essentiality

GISMO and GISMO-mis are new metrics of evolutionary constraint developed across 462 mammalian species. These metrics provide complementary measures of gene essentiality and improve prioritization of human disease genes.

Multiancestry conditional and joint analysis applied to GWAS summary statistics

This study introduces Manc-COJO, a method for detecting independent genetic associations by integrating data from multiple ancestries, reducing false positives and enabling fast, flexible analyses across diverse populations.

Mayo Clinic-Led Study Detects DNA Mutations Across Noncancerous Tissues

A Mayo Clinic-led study has shown how to detect a broad range of DNA mutations in noncancerous human tissues and across the genome. The analysis,...

Alternative splicing fine-tunes modular protein interfaces to control protein localization

Kjer-Hansen et al. show that alternative splicing reshapes how proteins interact and where they localize in cells, with tiny microexons making a disproportionate contribution to protein organization and cellular function.

Study Finds Chromatin Motion Holds Steady Until Cells Face Stress

Living human cells appear to hold the local movement of their DNA at a remarkably steady level through most of the cell cycle, only dialing it up...

Structural basis of an endoplasmic reticulum EMC:Spf1 insertase–dislocase complex

Klose et al. provide structural insights into a supercomplex between the EMC and Spf1 that brings together cellular machines for membrane protein insertion and extraction into a single entity, providing a framework for integrated membrane protein quality control.

Larger Datasets Reveal Additional Switches That Control Gene Expression

Most GWAS loci fall in regions that control gene expression rather than in the genes themselves, and linking those variants to eQTL and sQTL signals...
