TL;DR: The corrected sequence identified a recent segmental duplication that added 20 additional DUF1220 copies to the human genome, and may have facilitated the chromosome 1 pericentric inversion that is among the most notable human-specific genomic landmarks.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the feasibility of refining the B73 RefGen_v1 genome assembly by incorporating optical map, high-resolution genetic map, and comparative genomic data sets and improvements in gene and repeat annotation will serve to promote future functional genomic and phylogenomic research in maize and other grasses.

TL;DR: The first genome-wide high-resolution polymorphism resource for non-human primate association and linkage studies, constructed for the Caribbean-origin vervet monkey, or African green monkey, is reported.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the effect of this mutation is limited to the retina, as no systemic abnormalities in glycolysis were detected and the whole-exome next-generation sequencing identified an HK1 mutation in five adRP families.

TL;DR: Introducing a subset of the mutations identified in human GBM, in the nSH2 and iSH2 domains, increases signaling through the PI3K pathway and promotes tumorigenesis of primary normal human astrocytes in an orthotopic xenograft model, suggesting that GBM patients whose tumors carry mutant PIK3R1 alleles may benefit from treatment with inhibitors of AKT.
