Open AccessWhole genome sequencing identifies structural variants contributing to hematologic traits in the NHLBI TOPMed program
Genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of single nucleotide variants and small indels that contribute to variation in hematologic traits. While structural variants are known to cause rare bl...

Open AccessIntestine-specific removal of DAF-2 nearly doubles lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans with little fitness cost
Twenty-nine years following the breakthrough discovery that a single-gene mutation of daf-2 doubles Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan, it remains unclear where this insulin/IGF-1 receptor gene is expressed and wher...

Open AccessTrajectory of immune evasion and cancer progression in hepatocellular carcinoma
Immune evasion is key to cancer initiation and later at metastasis, but its dynamics at intermediate stages, where potential therapeutic interventions could be applied, is undefined. Here we show, using multi-...
