TLDR
Using 1000 Genomes Project–imputed genotype data in up to ∼370,000 women, 389 independent signals for age at menarche, a milestone in female pubertal development are identified, highlighting the complexity of the genetic regulation of puberty timing and support causal links with cancer susceptibility.

A 3D Map of the Human Genome at Kilobase Resolution Reveals Principles of Chromatin Looping

TL;DR: In situ Hi-C is used to probe the 3D architecture of genomes, constructing haploid and diploid maps of nine cell types, identifying ∼10,000 loops that frequently link promoters and enhancers, correlate with gene activation, and show conservation across cell types and species.
