  • Standard approaches to identify the genetic changes that lead to disease are reversed by examination of genetic networks for perturbations that are associated with disease states, and following up candidate genes from there. This begins with three genes in mice that lead to obesity when mutated, demonstrating that complex genetic–environmental traits can be dissected with this new approach.

  • In an inter-laboratory study, the authors compare the accuracy and performance of three optical density calibration protocols (colloidal silica, serial dilution of silica microspheres, and colony-forming unit (CFU) assay). They demonstrate that serial dilution of silica microspheres is the best of these tested protocols, allowing precise and robust calibration that is easily assessed for quality control and can also evaluate the effective linear range of an instrument.
