World War II and urbanization leave their mark on Finnish genetics March 4, 2021
A team of researchers led by Matti Pirinen of the University of Finland used more than 18,000 Finnish samples to take an incredibly detailed look at how Finnish genetics have shifted, year by year, from the 1920s to the 1980s. They describe their results in a new paper published March 4th in PLOS Genetics.
Induced pluripotent stem cells reveal causes of disease March 4, 2021
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are suitable for discovering the genes that underly complex, rare genetic diseases. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), together with international partners, have studied genotype-phenotype relationships in iPSCs using data from approximately 1,000 donors.
Ancient DNA reveals clues about how tuberculosis shaped the human immune system March 4, 2021
