- 1From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedWe have created a global map of the effects of polymorphism on gene expression in 400 children from families recruited through a proband with asthma. We genotyped 408,273 SNPs and identified expression quantitative trait...
- 2From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedThis month we highlight barren stalk1, a spontaneous maize mutant identified in 1928. Homozygous barren stalk1 plants have defective lateral meristems, the groups of stem cells that initiate growth of lateral structures....
- 3From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedImproper meiotic chromosome segregation causes conditions such as Down's syndrome (1). Recombination promotes proper chromosome segregation in meiosis I; chromosomes without crossovers near the centromere are more likely...
- 4From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedThe association of variants in complement factors H and B with age-related macular degeneration has led to more intense genetic and functional analysis of the complement pathway. We identify a nonsynonymous coding change...
- 5From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedA new study finds that copy number variation in the salivary amylase gene in humans is associated with amylase concentration in saliva and average starch consumption in populations. This provides a striking example of...
- 6From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedThe growing list of known microRNAs is only as useful as our ability to identify the mRNA targets they control. A new study stresses the role of messenger RNA structure in microRNA target recognition and suggests that...
- 7From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedGenetic variation influences gene expression, and this variation in gene expression can be efficiently mapped to specific genomic regions and variants. Here we have used gene expression profiling of Epstein-Barr...
- 8From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedF cells measure the presence of fetal hemoglobin, a heritable quantitative trait in adults that accounts for substantial phenotypic diversity of sickle cell disease and β thalassemia. We applied a genome-wide association...
- 9From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedMammalian circadian rhythms of activity are generated within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Transcripts from the imprinted, paternally expressed Magel2 gene, which maps to the chromosomal region associated with...
- 10From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedIn a venture toward the anticipated 'personal genomics' era, J. Craig Venter and colleagues recently published the diploid genome sequence of an individual human (PloS Biol. 5, e254; 2007). In addition to the paper...
- 11From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedMaintenance of bone mass is a dynamic process controlled by osteoclasts, which resorb existing bone, and osteoclasts, which form new bone. Estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women is frequently accompanied by...
- 12From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedGenetic variants can affect the quantity and timing of transcription and transcript stability, as well as splice efficiency and the ratio of alternative splices, all of which can be detected as differential transcript...
- 13From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedEvolution By Nicholas H. Barton, Derek E.G. Briggs, Jonathan A. Eisen, David B. Goldstein & Nipam H. Patel Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2007 833 pp., hardcover, $100 ISBN 9780879696849 There is...
- 14From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedStarch consumption is a prominent characteristic of agricultural societies and hunter-gatherers in arid environments. In contrast, rainforest and circum-arctic hunter-gatherers and some pastoralists consume much less...
- 15From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedRare mutations in the gene encoding neuroligin-3, a postsynaptic adhesion molecule, have been found in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Neuroligin-3 is a member of a family of such molecules found at...
- 16From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedHuman height is a classic, highly heritable quantitative trait. To begin to identify genetic variants influencing height, we examined genome-wide association data from 4,921 individuals. Common variants in the HMGA2...
- 17From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedThe Genetic Alliance has announced the launch of the National Consumer Center for Genetics Resources and Services (NCCGRS), a five-year, $500,000-per-year project funded by the US Department of Health and Human Services....
- 18From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedLarge data sets on human genetic variation have been collected recently, but their usefulness for learning about history and natural selection has been limited by biases in the ways polymorphisms were chosen. We report...
- 19From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedMore than a billion humans worldwide are predicted to be completely deficient in the fast skeletal muscle fiber protein α-actinin-3 owing to homozygosity for a premature stop codon polymorphism, R577X, in the ACTN3 gene....
- 20From: Nature Genetics. (Vol. 39, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedIn plants, METHYLTRANSFERASE1 (MET1) propagates [sup.m]CG patterns, and other methyltransferases methylate non-CG cytosines. Now Jerzy Paszkowski and colleagues show that in plants [sup.m]CG is required for epigenetic...
