Label-free detection and profiling of individual solution-phase molecules

Nature, Published online: 08 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07370-8

Enhanced light–molecule interactions in high-finesse fibre-based Fabry–Pérot microcavities are used to detect and profile individual unlabelled solution-phase biomolecules, leading to potential applications in the life and chemical sciences.

Proteome-scale discovery of protein degradation and stabilization effectors

Nature, Published online: 20 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07224-3

A synthetic proteome-scale strategy enables the identification of a diverse range of human proteins that can induce the degradation or stabilization of a target protein in a proximity-dependent way.

Evolutionary trajectories of small cell lung cancer under therapy

Nature, Published online: 13 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07177-7

We uncover key processes of the genomic evolution of small cell lung cancer under therapy, identify the common ancestor as the source of clonal diversity at relapse and show central genomic patterns associated with drug response.

SPLASH: A statistical, reference-free genomic algorithm unifies biological discovery

Genomics workflows typically map reads onto a reference genome as the foundation for downstream analyses. However, this poses severe limitations for biological discovery when references are incomplete or nonexistent, and even for intensely studied genomes with rich population-level diversity. SPLASH is a highly efficient framework for statistics-driven analysis of sequence variation directly from raw sequencing data, overcoming previous limitations.

Stability selection enhances feature selection and enables accurate prediction of gestational age using only five DNA methylation sites

DNA methylation (DNAm) is robustly associated with chronological age in children and adults, and gestational age (GA) in newborns. This property has enabled the development of several epigenetic clocks that ca...

A draft human pangenome reference

Nature, Published online: 10 May 2023; doi:10.1038/s41586-023-05896-x

An initial draft of the human pangenome is presented and made publicly available by the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium; the draft contains 94 de novo haplotype assemblies from 47 ancestrally diverse individuals.

Common and rare variant associations with clonal haematopoiesis phenotypes

Nature, Published online: 30 November 2022; doi:10.1038/s41586-022-05448-9

Exome sequence data from 628,388 individuals was used to identify 24 risk loci in 40,208 carriers of clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential and link them to other conditions including COVID-19, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Live-seq enables temporal transcriptomic recording of single cells

Nature, Published online: 17 August 2022; doi:10.1038/s41586-022-05046-9

Live-seq, a single-cell transcriptome profiling approach that preserves cell viability during RNA extraction using fluidic force microscopy, can address a range of biological questions by transforming scRNA-seq from an end-point to a temporal analysis approach.

Truncated FGFR2 is a clinically actionable oncogene in multiple cancers

Nature, Published online: 10 August 2022; doi:10.1038/s41586-022-05066-5

Truncation of exon 18 of FGFR2 (FGFR2ΔE18) is a potent driver mutation in mice and humans, and FGFR-targeted therapy should be considered for patients with cancer expressing stable FGFR2ΔE18 variants.
