  • Variable-temperature mass spectrometry, isotopic labelling and computational analysis have been used to characterize a metastable non-haem oxo-iron(V) intermediate generated at cryogenic temperatures, as well as to study its cis-dihydroxylation reaction with olefins. The study provides experimental evidence for the existence of this powerful and biologically important oxidant, under conditions relevant to catalysis.

  • In this study, Aggarwal and colleagues perform prospective sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 isolates derived from asymptomatic student screening and symptomatic testing of students and staff at the University of Cambridge. They identify important factors that contributed to within university transmission and onward spread into the wider community.

  • Contrary to common chemical intuition, cation-π interactions can persist in polar, aqueous reaction solutions, rather than in dry non-coordinative solvent systems. Here, the authors highlight how alkali ion-π interactions impart distinctive structure-influencing supramolecular forces that can be exploited in the preparation of nanoscopic metal-organic capsules.

  • Tuberculosis is a major cause of mortality, and the rise of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis requires the urgent development of safe and effective treatments. In this work, the authors develop a compound against lysyl-tRNA synthetase, demonstrating on-target mechanism of action and efficacy in vivo.

  • Gonçalo Abecasis, Chaolong Wang and colleagues report a new statistical method, implemented in a publicly available software program LASER, to estimate an individual's genetic ancestry directly from off-target sequence reads from targeted sequencing experiments, making use of a reference panel. Their simulations and testing on real data sets show accurate inference of worldwide continental ancestry with whole-genome shotgun coverage as low as 0.001× and of fine-scale ancestry within Europe with coverage as low as 0.1×.

  • Using whole-genome data for single-nucleotide polymorphism and results from genome-wide association studies, the authors show that people’s preference for pairing with those with similar phenotypic traits has genetic causes and consequences.

  • Size and shape of the brain are, among others, influenced by the dimensions of the skull. Here, the authors report genome-wide association studies for head circumference and intracranial volume in children and adults and the identification of nine common or low-frequency variants associated with these traits.

  • 1000 Genomes imputation can increase the power of genome-wide association studies to detect genetic variants associated with human traits and diseases. Here, the authors develop a method to integrate and analyse low-coverage sequence data and SNP array data, and show that it improves imputation performance.

  • This report from the 1000 Genomes Project describes the genomes of 1,092 individuals from 14 human populations, providing a resource for common and low-frequency variant analysis in individuals from diverse populations; hundreds of rare non-coding variants at conserved sites, such as motif-disrupting changes in transcription-factor-binding sites, can be found in each individual.
