Determining susceptibility loci in triple negative breast cancer using a novel pre-clinical model

The paper develops a novel murine model to identify genetic modifiers of triple-negative breast cancer traits and identifies susceptibility loci with potential translational relevance.

Gene-by-environmental modulation of longevity and weight gain in the murine BXD family

The paper examines how diet and genetics interact to affect longevity and weight gain in mice, finding that genetic differences significantly influence the impact of high-fat diets on lifespan.

Genome-wide rare variant analysis for thousands of phenotypes in 54,000 exomes

The paper analyzes rare variants in 54,000 exomes across 3,166 phenotypes, identifying 78 gene-based associations with significant effects on human traits.

A Comprehensive Genome-wide and Phenome-wide Examination of BMI and Obesity in a Northern Nevadan Cohort

This study uses EHR and genetics to perform GWAS and PheWAS on BMI and obesity, identifying known and novel variants and phenotypic associations.

GWAS and PheWAS of Red Blood Cell Components in a Northern Nevadan Cohort

This study performs GWAS and PheWAS on red blood cell components in a Northern Nevadan cohort, identifying genetic associations and linking SNPs to phenotypic diagnoses.

Population Health Genetic Screening for Tier 1 Inherited Diseases in Northern Nevada: 90% of At-Risk Carriers are Missed

The paper finds that 90% of carriers of inherited disease variants are missed in current medical practice, highlighting the need for population-based genetic screening.

Nitrogen cost minimization is promoted by structural changes in the transcriptome of N deprived Prochlorococcus cells

The paper shows that Prochlorococcus MED4 reduces nitrogen content in transcripts under nitrogen deprivation by using internal transcription start sites and shorter transcripts.
