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...

Computational Tool Captures How Chromatin Folds at Scale

Studying how chromatin changes requires capturing molecular movements and interactions that are difficult to resolve experimentally. Now, an...

Imputation of fluid intelligence scores reduces ascertainment bias and increases power for analyses of common and rare variants

Imputing unmeasured fluid intelligence scores in UK Biobank reduces ascertainment bias and increases power for genetic analyses, improving out-of-sample polygenic score performance and identifying rare variant signals that are strongly enriched for intellectual disability-associated genes.

Single-molecule chromatin tracing reveals a diversity of megabase heterochromatin domains

Single-molecule imaging reveals diverse, megabase-scale heterochromatin domains in C. elegans. Some resemble TADs and depend on condensin I; others are independent of condensin and histone H3K9me, including one domain that encloses the 5S rDNA locus.

Spatial Transcriptomics and Metabolite Mapping Combined on a Single Tissue Slide

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) shows which genes are active and where within a tissue, while spatial metabolomics (SM) maps the location of...
