Food and energy security are major challenges facing humanity in the coming decades. The falling costs of nucleotide sequencing are opening up significant opportunities for crop improvement through plant breeding and increased understanding of plant biology; in particular through interpreting the growing volume of plant genomics data in the context of phenotype. However, at...

In the midst of a climatic change scenario, the genetics of adaptive response in conifers becomes essential to ensure a sustainable management of genetic resources and an effective breeding. Conifers are the target of major tree breeding efforts worldwide. Advances in molecular technologies, such as next-generation DNA sequencing technologies, could have an enormous impact on...

Life-long immunosuppression is typically regarded as obligatory for solid-organ recipients to avoid the risk of rejection and graft loss. Evidence that not all patients require perpetual immunosuppression is found in a subset of patients who successfully discontinue immunosuppression and yet maintain normal graft function. In liver transplantation recent data indicate that...

In response to the call for a high impact initiative on the human epigenome, the BLUEPRINT Consortium was formed with the aim of generating at least 100 reference epigenomes and studying them to advance and exploit knowledge of the underlying biological processes and mechanisms in health and disease. BLUEPRINT focused on distinct types of haematopoietic cells from...
