Researchers saw immune-related gene expression changes in astronauts on the International Space Station, along with shifts to baseline in the weeks after their return to Earth.

Using association, regulatory, and functional analyses coupled with cell line experiments, researchers characterized new nasopharyngeal cancer risk genes.

With loss-of-function screens on human, chimp, and orangutan stem cells, researchers narrowed in on species-specific genetic dependencies involving dozens of genes.

Researchers identified dozens of variants associated with Dupuytren's disease, nicknamed "Viking disease," including three risk variants originating in Neanderthal sequences.

Researchers found that infection with Fusobacterium, which can be treated with antibiotics, leads to gene expression and cellular changes involved in the onset of endometriosis.

Researchers put together a pangenome reference with high-quality, haplotype-phased genome assemblies for individuals from minority and majority populations in China.

A 269-variant multi-ancestry polygenic risk score performed as well as genome-wide scores when it came to predicting prostate cancer in men of African or European ancestry.

A genome-wide association study on Icelanders led to variants in ABCC9, which encodes a regulatory subunit of a potassium channel.

Researchers linked agriculture to incoming Neolithic Europeans, while a Middle Neolithic shift to pastoralism coincided with the arrival of migrants from the Levant.

DNA barcode sequencing on samples collected over time at air quality monitoring sites in the UK identified more than 180 plant, animal, insect, and fungal species.
