Texas Children’s/Baylor researchers developed new tool to improve accuracy of genetic testing The tool offers a new way to measure genetic variants in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), one of the world’s most widely used resources for understanding human genetics.

Researchers can now divide the #genome into #ancestry-specific segments for more accurate insights into #geneticDifferences. @egatkinson.bsky.social @pragskore.bsky.social M. Wilson et al @bcmhouston.bsky.social @bcmgenetics.bsky.social @natcomms.nature.com blogs.bcm.edu/2025/10/07/f...

Fatty acids promote immune suppression and therapy resistance in triple negative breast cancer The researchers show that disrupting lipid formulation reverses treatment resistance and the immunosuppressive microenvironment.
