Genetics articles from across Nature Portfolio

An article in Nature Biomedical Engineering reports a simple and hardware-independent peptide-mediated delivery method for the CRISPR-mediated engineering of T cells.

Two studies describe kinase fusion proteins (KFPs) that regulate the perception and deception of wheat pathogens. These highlight the emergence of KFPs as plant immune regulators and emphasize the importance of crop wild relatives as a reservoir for resistance breeding and global food security.

The algorithmic detection of cancer-associated variants can be accelerated by leveraging machine-learning classifiers to filter out reads matched to pan-genome k-mer sets.

A study in Nature identified the presumed owner or maker of a 20,000-year-old pendant.
