Population structured by witchcraft beliefs

Field experiments and network data show that the witchcraft label ‘zhu’ influences labour-sharing and intermarriage in a large network of southwest Chinese villages. Zhu is not an indicator of pro-sociality, but may function to spite or damage rivals.

GWAS and meta-analysis identifies 49 genetic variants underlying critical COVID-19

An analysis of 24,202 critical cases of COVID-19 identifies potentially druggable targets in inflammatory signalling (JAK1), monocyte–macrophage activation and endothelial permeability (PDE4A), immunometabolism (SLC2A5 and AK5), and host factors required for viral entry and replication (TMPRSS2 and RAB2A).

Genome-wide association analyses identify 44 risk variants and refine the genetic architecture of major depression

A genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals with clinically assessed or self-reported depression identifies 44 independent risk loci. Comparisons with other psychiatric disorders and candidate gene analyses provide new insights into major depressive disorder.

Tumour gene expression signature in primary melanoma predicts long-term outcomes

The identification of prognostic biomarkers can help stratify cancer patients. Here, the authors apply deep RNA sequencing from primary melanomas coupled with long-term clinical outcome data from a prospective multicentre phase III trial, to develop and validate a 121 metastasis-associated gene signature identifying early-stage melanoma patients at higher risk of metastasis and worse survival.

Exome sequencing highlights the role of wild-relative introgression in shaping the adaptive landscape of the wheat genome

Targeted re-sequencing of 890 diverse accessions of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat identifies regions showing the signals of wild emmer introgression, thus suggesting that historic wild-relative gene flow shaped modern bread wheat's adaptive diversity.

Here, Shen et al. perform phenome-wide association studies of a depression polygenic risk score (PRS) and find associations with 51 behavioural and 26 neuroimaging traits which are further followed up on using Mendelian randomization and mediation analyses.

Risk of infection is high after stroke, but the causes are not clear. Here the authors implicate altered beta–adrenergic signalling after stroke that results in a reduction in IgM-mediated protection by marginal zone B cells.

The drivers behind these past changes are explored, as well as their relevance for current and future changes in the AIS.
