- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 461, Issue 7261) Peer-ReviewedGenome-wide association studies suggest that common genetic variants explain only a modest fraction of heritable risk for common diseases, raising the question of whether rare variants account for a significant fraction...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 461, Issue 7261) Peer-ReviewedAbout one million cells die every second in our bodies, often by the process of programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Dead cells are either expelled to the outside--for instance, by sloughing off of effete skin or gut...
