The UK Biobank Exome Sequencing Consortium aims to sequence all the exomes of approximately 500,000 UK Biobank participants. This Perspective describes the results from approximately 200,000 exomes and discusses the lessons learned from this UK Biobank–biopharmaceutical company collaboration.
Numerous statistical models have been used to analyze single-cell RNA sequencing data. This Perspective proposes that a Poisson measurement model is sufficient and suitably flexible for this task, and its use would resolve current controversies.
This Perspective on crop genomics discusses the promises of new technologies and approaches to help minimize food insecurity and to lay the foundation for sustainable agricultural systems needed to feed the world.
Recent technologies allow experimental manipulation of chromatin conformation. This Perspective discusses the insights obtained from gain-of-function studies that engineer the three-dimensional genome.
