  • Full-dimensional dynamics simulations using a machine learning-based potential energy surface reveal that the Cl + C2H2→C2H + HCl reaction predominantly follows two roaming mechanisms—chlorine roaming (Cl-roaming) and hydrogen roaming (H-roaming)—rather than the expected direct abstraction via the traditional transition state.

  • Base-induced elimination (E2) and bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) are of significant importance in physical organic chemistry. Here, the authors show that the competing factor of E2 as opposed to steric hindrance determines the low reactivity of SN2 in the F− + (CH3)3CI reaction.

  • The reaction between Criegee intermediates and water vapour greatly impacts atmospheric chemistry and climate, yet its dynamics remain poorly understood. Now it has been shown that syn-CH3CHOO reacts with water vapour at rates much higher than previously estimated, through a roaming mechanism that enhances reactivity and challenges conventional understanding of atmospheric OH radical production.

  • Results for the final phase of the 1000 Genomes Project are presented including whole-genome sequencing, targeted exome sequencing, and genotyping on high-density SNP arrays for 2,504 individuals across 26 populations, providing a global reference data set to support biomedical genetics.

  • Dissociative chemisorption dynamics of polyatomic molecules on surfaces are still challenging to probe quantitatively. Here, the authors report the 9-dimensional quantum dynamics of H2O dissociative chemisorption on Cu(111), with the highest level of accuracy yet seen for this prototypical reaction.

  • Variants causing loss of function (LoF) of human genes have clinical implications. Here, the authors present a method to predict disease-causing potential of LoF variants, ALoFT (annotation of Loss-of-Function Transcripts) and show its application to interpreting LoF variants in different contexts.

  • Genomic analyses of cancer genomes have largely focused on mutations in protein-coding regions, but the functional importance of alterations to non-coding regions is becoming increasingly appreciated through whole-genome sequencing. This Review discusses our current understanding of non-coding sequence variants in cancer — both somatic mutations and germline variants, and their interplay — including their identification, computational and experimental evidence for functional impact, and their diverse mechanisms of action for dysregulating coding genes and non-coding RNAs.
