This Review discusses gene regulatory networks in plants and their function across evolution and highlights how their manipulation with synthetic biology and gene editing can promote plant productivity in the face of climate change.
This Review explores the challenges and strategies for developing gapless telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies to enhance our understanding of genome organization and improve crops through genome-assisted breeding or gene editing.
This Review discusses emerging technologies and insights from mitochondrial DNA variant profiling obtained by single-cell multi-omics, demonstrating how the powerhouse of the cell may record clonal lineages and contribute to disease heterogeneity.
Genotype × environment interactions are a key mechanism underlying human phenotypic variation and contribute to our understanding of the genetic architecture of human traits, with possible applications in personalized medicine.
This Review explores mechanistic theories of aging, discusses challenges in establishing causality of these mechanisms and suggests that genetically informed investigation will help address this gap.
This Review discusses how embryonic transcriptional programs, such as epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity and stemness, may be harnessed in adult tissues to drive processes and diseases such as regeneration and cancer.
This review discusses major privacy threats relevant to collection and analysis of genomic data in the context of direct-to-consumer applications and provides suggestions for improving the design of privacy-protecting approaches.
