In a pair of posts on the GATK Blog, Ó³»­´«Ã½ data scientists announce big steps toward making sequencing data from different locations more interoperable, and reducing the cost of sequence analysis from $45 per genome in 2016 to $5 today.

When people think about prion mutations, their mind jumps to things that cause disease. But as a Ó³»­´«Ã½ researcher points out, some prion mutations can protect against disease, and point to potentially valuable research avenues.

Similar mutations in the gene SPOP have completely opposite effects in prostate versus endometrial cancers. What does that mean for efforts aimed at functionally interpreting cancer genetic findings?

Collaboration will create and disseminate open-source tools for storing, sharing, and analyzing life sciences data

The open availability of accurate genome assemblies and gene annotations from isolates of this emerging multidrug-resistant fungus should help the scientific community better understand its worldwide threat to health.
