Published: January 2021

Population structure is a commonplace feature of genetic variation data, and it has importance in numerous application areas, including evolutionary genetics, conservation genetics, and human genetics. Understanding the structure in a sample is necessary before more sophisticated analyses are undertaken. Here we provide a protocol for running principal component analysis (PCA) and admixture proportion inference-two of the most commonly used approaches in describing population structure. Along with hands-on examples with CEPH-Human Genome Diversity Panel and pragmatic caveats, readers will learn to analyze and visualize population structure on their own data.

Rome Foundation Working Team Report on overlap in disorders of gut-brain interaction.

Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol

January 2025

Department of Molecular and Clinical Medicine, Institute of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.

In patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), overlapping non-gastrointestinal conditions such as fibromyalgia, headaches, gynaecological and urological conditions, sleep disturbances and fatigue are common, as is overlap among DGBI in different regions of the gastrointestinal tract. These overlaps strongly influence patient management and outcome. Shared pathophysiology could explain this scenario, but details are not fully understood.

Purpose: People who are transgender or gender diverse (PTGD) often experience difficulties navigating the health care system due to a variety of factors such as lack of knowledgeable and/or culturally competent clinicians, discrimination, and structural and/or socioeconomic barriers. We sought to determine whether a peer health navigator service in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan helped connect transgender and gender-diverse clients and health care practitioners (HCPs) to resources, and how this service changed their health care experiences.

Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 9 clients and 9 HCPs.

Background: Smoking rates have declined markedly in Australia over time; however, lesbian, bisexual and queer (LBQ) women continue to smoke at higher rates than heterosexual women. Understanding the factors influencing smoking in this population is crucial for developing targeted cessation interventions and other supports.

Methods: Experiences of and motivations for smoking among 42 LBQ cisgender and transgender women and non-binary people in Australia who currently or previously smoked were explored through semi-structured interviews.

A pangenome is the sum of the genetic information of all individuals in a species or a population. Genomics research has been gradually shifted to a paradigm using a pangenome as the reference. However, in disease genomics study, pangenome-based analysis is still in its infancy.

Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for alcohol use disorder: A systematic review of evidence and future potential.

J Subst Use Addict Treat

Department of Psychiatry and Psychology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, United States; Department of Psychiatry, University Hospitals, Cleveland, OH, United States. Electronic address:

Introduction: While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) remains a highly effective psychotherapy approach for managing Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), its potential is hindered by workforce shortages and access barriers. In response to these challenges, Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) has emerged as an innovative solution that integrates the core CBT structure with technology. In iCBT, educational materials, therapist communication and progress dashboards can be centralized in a digital format, and delivered in a self-guided, therapist-guided or blended approach.
