Segmental duplications (SDs) contribute significantly to human disease, evolution and diversity but have been difficult to resolve at the sequence level. We present a population genetics survey of SDs by analyzing 170 human genome assemblies (from 85 samples representing 38 Africans and 47 non-Africans) in which the majority of autosomal SDs are fully resolved using long-read sequence assembly. Excluding the acrocentric short arms and sex chromosomes, we identify 173.

Mutations in the epigenetic regulator Additional Sex Combs-Like 1 (ASXL1) are frequently observed in chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL). CNL is a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) driven by activating mutations in the Colony Stimulating Factor 3 Receptor (CSF3R), which cause excessive neutrophil production. Despite the high rates of co-occurrence, the interplay between ASXL1 and CSF3R mutations in hematopoiesis and leukemia remains poorly understood.

Background: Systemic sclerosis is a chronic and rare connective tissue disease with multiorgan effects, including interstitial lung disease (ILD). Navigating systemic sclerosis-interstitial lung disease presents a challenge for patients due to the gaps in patient education, which can impact patient health and quality of life. This study utilized the nominal group technique to identify priority knowledge gaps among patients with systemic sclerosis-interstitial lung disease and inform future educational interventions and research.

The rate at which mutations arise is a fundamental parameter of biology. Despite progress in measuring germline mutation rates across diverse taxa, such estimates are missing for much of Earth's biodiversity. Here, we present the first estimate of a germline mutation rate from the phylum Mollusca.

Background: Protein evolution is central to molecular adaptation and largely characterized by modular rearrangements of domains, the evolutionary and structural building blocks of proteins. Genetic events underlying protein rearrangements are relatively rare compared to changes of amino-acids. Therefore, these events can be used to characterize and reconstruct major events of molecular adaptation by comparing large data sets of proteomes.
