In cross-platform analyses of 174 metabolites, we identify 499 associations (P < 4.9 × 10) characterized by pleiotropy, allelic heterogeneity, large and nonlinear effects and enrichment for nonsynonymous variation. We identify a signal at GLP2R (p.Asp470Asn) shared among higher citrulline levels, body mass index, fasting glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide and type 2 diabetes, with β-arrestin signaling as the underlying mechanism. Genetically higher serine levels are shown to reduce the likelihood (by 95%) and predict development of macular telangiectasia type 2, a rare degenerative retinal disease. Integration of genomic and small molecule data across platforms enables the discovery of regulators of human metabolism and translation into clinical insights.

Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer. It has a grim prognosis for patients, primarily because the disease often remains asymptomatic in its early stages. As a result, it is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage, limiting treatment options.

Motivation: Advances in genomics have created an insistent need for accessible tools that simplify complex genetic data analysis, enabling researchers across fields to harness the power of genome-wide association studies and genomic prediction. GWAStic was developed to bridge this gap, providing an intuitive platform that combines artificial intelligence with traditional statistical methods, making sophisticated genomic analysis accessible without requiring deep expertise in statistical software.
Results: We present GWAStic, an intuitive, cross-platform desktop application designed to streamline genome-wide association studies and genomic prediction for biological and medical researchers.

Small differences in the structure and subsequent reactivity of glyphosate complexes can have a highly consequential impact due to the enormous quantities of glyphosate used globally. The gas phase metal speciation of glyphosate and its abundant metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), were determined using cross-platform electrospray ionisation ion mobility mass spectrometry. Monomeric [M + L - H] complexes, and both larger, and/or higher order clusters formed with divalent metals (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Mn, Co, Cu, and Zn; and L = glyphosate and AMPA).

Background: In medical imaging, 3D visualization is vital for displaying volumetric organs, enhancing diagnosis and analysis. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) improves visual and diagnostic capabilities by transforming 2D images from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging into 3D representations. Web-based Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) viewers integrated into picture archiving and communication systems facilitate access to pictures and interaction with remote data.
