Integrating Natural and Engineered Genetic Variation to Decode Regulatory Influence on Blood Traits

Manuel Tardáguila, Dominique Von Schiller, M. Colombo…·Nicole Soranzo

The paper combines natural and engineered genetic variation to identify 22 non-coding variants affecting haematological traits and shows how a CUX1 variant impacts megakaryopoiesis.

alpha-Actinin-3 deficiency protects from the effects of acute cold exposure through altered skeletal muscle Ca2+ and OXPHOS signaling.

Peter J. Houweling, Chrystal F. Tiong, Leonit Kiriaev…·Kathryn N. North

This study shows that alpha-actinin-3 deficiency improves cold tolerance through enhanced mitochondrial function and reduced muscle mass loss during acute cold exposure.
