Nature Genetics, Published online: 24 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41588-024-01718-6A comprehensive variation map constructed by deep sequencing 1,904 accessions of weedy and cultivated broomcorn millet sheds light on the genetic architecture of agronomic traits during domestication.

Nature Genetics, Published online: 24 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41588-024-01726-6BEAN is a Bayesian approach for analyzing base editing screens with improved effect size quantification and variant classification. Applied to low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-associated common variants and saturation base editing of LDLR, BEAN identifies new LDL uptake genes...

Nature Genetics, Published online: 23 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41588-024-01733-7A new acorn barnacles genome assembly, together with transcriptomic and proteomic datasets and functional experiments, identify bcs-6 and bsf, as new genes involved in the settlement process by facilitating energy metabolism and stabilizing the alternating layers of chitin...

Nature Genetics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41588-024-01713-xThis study establishes in vitro and in vivo systems to study mutagenesis and cancer genome evolution. Using microfluidics and mouse models, the method enables the dissection of co-occurring mutational processes and reveals that acute damage results in mirror-image mutation...
