The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2026 update

Casper J, Speir ML, Raney BJ, et al.

Now in its 25th year of operation, the UCSC Genome Browser (https://genome.ucsc.edu) provides a central location for researchers around the world to display and compare annotations on assembled genomes. Highlighted updates include a positional heatmap …

Evolutionary and functional constraints structure human gene research visibility

Eswaran E, Zimmermann M, Krishnagopalan G, et al.

<h4>Background</h4>Biomedical research effort is distributed highly unevenly across human genes, with a small subset dominating the scientific literature while thousands remain sparsely studied. Whether this imbalance reflects intrinsic biological importance or historically reinforced research bias …

The Missing Piece: Functional Telomerase Restored in the Beetle Model

Fajkus P, Štefanovie B, Závodník M, et al.

The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum yielded the first resolved telomerase reverse transcriptase structure but lacked a known telomerase RNA. We identify two telomerase RNA paralogs in Tribolium, confirm their expression, and reconstitute active telomerase …

Decoding cellular communication networks and signaling pathways in bone, skeletal muscle, and bone-muscle crosstalk through spatial transcriptomics in a young male mouse

Qiu C, Li Y, Gong Y, et al.

Bone and skeletal muscle are essential components of musculoskeletal system, enabling movement, load-bearing, and systemic homeostasis. These tissues communicate through dynamic bone-muscle crosstalk mediated by cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular-matrix (ECM) proteins. The spatial organization …

Pan-genomics of polyploid crops: from complexity to breeding

Naik YD, Thudi M, Kamal N, et al.

Improving crop productivity is essential to ensure global food security in the context of climate change and an increasing global population. Over the past few decades, sequencing has significantly expanded our ability to explore complex …

Divergent genetic and phenotypic trajectories in China' s maize hybrids

Li G, Mao H, Li S, et al.

Maize germplasm is fundamental for breeding progress, yet the genetic and phenotypic trajectories of China’s modern commercial hybrids are poorly characterized. Through whole-genome resequencing of the hybrids themselves—which directly represent commercially deployed varieties— and multi-trait …

Preparing healthcare providers to use polygenic risk scores: a qualitative study of learning needs and educational preferences

Clark A, Wallingford CK, Berkman J, et al.

<h4>Objectives</h4>Polygenic risk scores are increasingly available to consumers to provide an estimate of the genetic contribution to health conditions. However, healthcare providers report limited knowledge and confidence using polygenic risk scores. Clinical implementation necessitates educational …

Association for Clinical Genomic Science (ACGS) guidelines for the classification of oncogenicity of somatic variants in cancer: recommendations by the UK somatic variant interpretation group (SVIG-UK)

Burghel GJ, Mason J, Baker K, et al.

Comprehensive genomic testing in routine cancer care pathways has created the need to interpret the consequences of somatic (acquired) genomic variants beyond the currently well-characterised driver variants in cancer gene hotspots. While several guidelines have …
