Nature 2020; 583: 96–102https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2434-2The authors applied whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in 9,802 patients with a rare disease in a national health system to streamline diagnosis and to discover unknown aetiological variants in the coding and non-coding regions of the genome. WGS identified the genetic diagnosis in 1138/7065 extensively phenoty...

To read the full abstract: Nat Genet 2017;49:1231-1238This large international initiative is a major collaboration across 25 research institutes that was set up as part of the scientific community’s response to concerns regarding the notoriously poor reproducibility of scientific research. Up to now, many mouse gene knock-outs have been made and reported, but inconsistency between finding...
