Genome-wide association study identifies 151 genes for atrial fibrillation

Drawing on genomic data from more than one million individuals, researchers from the University of Michigan have led a large collaborative effort to discover as-yet unknown genetic risk factors for atrial fibrillation: an irregular, often rapid heart rate affecting millions of Americans and more than 30 million people worldwide.

	Genetic testing before embryo transfer makes no difference to live birth rates The genetic screening of fertilized eggs for embryo selection in assisted reproduction makes no difference to live birth rates, according to results from the largest published study of its kind.

	Scientists map regulatory landscape of mouse genome at single-cell resolution Scientists have completed a major effort to map the regulatory landscape of the mouse genome at a single-cell resolution.

	Researchers sequence complete mitochondrial genome of malaria mosquitoes A team led by scientists from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has sequenced and annotated the first complete mitochondrial genome of Anopheles funestus, one of the main vectors of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.

	Study suggests cancer to be a metabolic disorder rather than genetic disease In a study of more than 1,200 patients, published in the Friday, August 3, issue of Oncotarget, an international team of 35 co-investigators from 17 institutions spanning the U.S., Brazil and Europe reported that cancer occurs because cancer cells make and use energy differently from normal cells.

	Researchers use guide RNAs to improve base editing system Researchers have used guide RNAs to improve the adenine base editing (ABE) system, used by scientists to alter genetic codes in animal models of disease.
