Purine recycling deficiency triggers metabolic and neurological defects reminiscent of Lesch–Nyhan disease in Drosophila, paving the way for studying this disorder and carrying out drug screening in an invertebrate organism.

Genome-wide PARP-1 binding analysis advances the understanding of molecular mechanisms governing gene regulation in response to developmental cues and environmental stressors.

A genetic variant within a newly identified enhancer regulates the expression of a key pharmacogene and alters the balance between resistance and sensitivity to a widely used chemotherapeutic.

Genetic variants interact with open chromatin to alter gene expression within topologically associated domains of DNA in outbred mice.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the extent to which marmosets carry genetically distinct cells from their siblings.

Subtelomeric sequences in the yeast S. cerevisiae are dispensable for either cell proliferation or homologous recombination-mediated telomere maintenance in telomerase-null cells, suggesting that these sequences represent remnants of genome evolution.

Integrated analyses of acute myeloid leukemia genetics and epigenetics demonstrate that epigenetic evolution occurs in a convergent manner in the absence of DNA mutations at relapse post-chemotherapy.

Age and antipsychotic treatment effects on chromatin organization in the frontal cortex of schizophrenia subjects.

Using sequence-determined functional genomic features instead of original genotypes can partially overcome challenges in genetic association studies, such as rare variant exclusion and population structure.
