A previously developed multi-ancestry polygenic risk score is potentially an effective prostate cancer risk stratification tool across ancestry populations.

Hearing a single auditory error while speaking causes an adaptive change that corrects for that error the next time we say a word, providing empirical support for current models of speech sensorimotor adaptation and aligning speech with other motor domains.

A combination of physiological, histological, and optical approaches reveals synapse-specific function of α-synuclein in mouse brain under both normal and pathological states.

A powerful sequencing approach is used to elucidate the genetic basis of a complex organismal trait, and members of the irld gene family that affect starvation resistance are identified.

The abundance of mosaic variants detected directly in sperm accurately predicts their transmission to concepti.

Lineage tracing and genetic analysis in zebrafish show that the pseudobranch is a serial homolog of the gills arising from the jaw-forming mandibular arch, thus supporting the model that vertebrate jaws derived from an ancestral mandibular gill.

Repressing astroglial PTBP1 by shRNA or antisense oligonucleotide fails to convert astrocyte to neuron including dopaminergic neuron in a 6-OHDA mouse model of PD.

Liquid biopsy methods utilizing brain-specific cell-free DNA methylation markers can detect brain cell death and potentially assist early detection and monitoring of schizophrenia.

Urban wildlife harbor gut bacteria found in humans but missing from rural wildlife, consistent with bacterial transmission from humans to wildlife in cities.

Identification of a new family of stress-induced plant signalling peptides and their cognate receptor.
