Nat Metab. 2021;3(11):1552-68. doi: 10.1038/s42255-021-00481-w.PubMed ID: 34697471Brief summary: This study identified a genetic locus on mouse chromosome 17, containing the gene Ndufv2, that controls mitochondrial mass and function in adipose tissue in a sex- and tissue-specific manner. In female mice, Ndufv2 regulated the expression of 89 mitochondrial genes, with invol...

In Brief: The authors describe AlphaMissense, a machine-learning tool that predicts the pathogenicity of 71 million human coding variants. 22.8 million variants (32%) are classified as likely pathogenic and 40.9 million (57%) as likely benign. They provide these databases freely as resources to the international research community.These authors from Google DeepMind previously developed and released AlphaFold, a revolutionary machine-learning approach to ...

Nature 2019;567:187–193.URL https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-0984-ySummary: Novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in the blood that can predict early fatty liver disease were identified, using a proteomic and lipidomic-wide systems genetic approach in 107 genetically distinct mouse strains. In addition, the novel lipid-regulatory protein, PSMD9, was identified as...
