Peter Robinson and colleagues have developed phenopacket-tools, which simplify construction of phenopackets by providing programmatic shortcuts and predefined building blocks.

The processes enabling pluripotency at the very beginning of life are more different between mouse strains than you might expect.

Ryan Tewhey is part of a research group that identified and characterized more than 10,000 human-specific Conserved Deletions (hCONDELs) enriched for brain functions. The findings will be important for further investigation of the evolutionary mechanisms that produce the traits that distinguish humans from other species.

Christine Beck led a team that explored mouse genome, and revealed details across 20 diverse inbred strains that will be critical for informing mouse-based genetics and genomics research moving forward.
