Achieving a diagnosis for Indigenous people living with a rare, often genetic, disease is crucial for equitable healthcare. The International Rare Disease Research Consortium convened a global Task Force to bridge the gap in diagnosing Indigenous rare diseases, and identify solutions to tackle the health inequity faced by Indigenous people.
The field of spatial omics is developing rapidly, with a potentially transformative effect across many areas of biology. Nature Genetics invites authors to submit papers that use these techniques to answer questions of broad interest to researchers working in genetics and genomics.
While the number of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences grew to over 15 million, the Ultrafast Sample placement on Existing tRees (UShER) tool suite maintained a comprehensive phylogenetic tree in near real time. This experience, and critical performance improvements throughout the pandemic, provide valuable lessons for rapidly scaling analyses.
