Cracking the code of the non-coding genome via allele-specific genomics? Can we link non-coding elements—like lncRNAs and enhancers—to their protein-coding target genes, and in doing so, connect overlapping non-coding disease variants to their protein-coding counterparts?

A new study from the MBL reveals that activating a group of neurons in the axolotl brain is essential for tail regeneration. The findings point to the possibility that a comparable group of neurons impacts regenerative responses in mammals. Read more: bit.ly/4kxcfRp 📷: Dee Sullivan

Today’s most transformative medicines exist because of fundamental discoveries that were made without regard to practical outcome. Their relevance to therapeutics only appeared decades later. This article provides some compelling examples. 🔽

In this review, I write about why it is important to study synaptonemal complex protein evolution and highlight this with a few key examples of conserved features and unique adaptations.
