Direct-to-consumer genetic genealogy services that allow users to upload their own datasets are vulnerable to attacks on genetic privacy that exploit the structure of genetic variation.

Two studies suggest that a determined adversary may be able to obtain genetic information that they should not have permission to access from some genealogy databases.

A health-system embedding method for genomic discovery and clinical characterization of disease highlights the importance of documenting a wider spectrum of genetic disorders in diverse populations.

Variation in the rate of mixed infections by malaria parasites and the relatedness structure among infecting strains reveals diversity in local epidemiological processes.

Correction for stratification in genome-wide association studies should be informed by the demographic history of the sample.

A thorough insight into the previously unrecognised role of a critical developmental regulator known as TBXT in influencing the specification of human trunk neural crest cells, the presumed precursors of the childhood tumour neuroblastoma.

Genetic analyses uncovered that the asymmetrically long non-coding RNA cherub is required for brain tumor growth.

A spiking network model that examines the transformation of odor information from olfactory bulb to piriform cortex demonstrates how intrinsic cortical circuitry preserves representations of odor identity across odorant concentrations.

A parametrization-invariant synaptic plasticity rule based on natural-gradient descent leads to multiple predictions for the biological plasticity process, some of which relate to well-studied phenomena such as heterosynaptic plasticity.
