Variation in seed abundance predicts yolk fatty acid composition in a wild population of birds
Bird embryos develop inside eggs, which contain maternal substances that can shape offspring phenotype and fitness. Yolk fatty acids are a key energy source for the developing embryo, with omega‐6 (ω‐6) and omega‐3 (ω‐3) polyunsaturated fatty acids ...

A Pooled CRISPR Screen Reveals Genes Critical for Erythroblast Enucleation
ABSTRACT Terminal erythroid differentiation involves dramatic cellular remodeling that culminates in the expulsion of the nucleus, a process known as enucleation. While enucleation is conserved across mammals and is crucial for the generation of fully functional erythrocytes, the mechanisms governing this process have remained largely unknown, in part ...

Concurrent Germline RB1 & Mosaic TP53 in a Child With Multiple Childhood Cancers
ABSTRACT We report a patient with a pathogenic germline variant (PGV) in RB1 and somatic mosaicism for a pathogenic TP53 variant who developed three distinct types of childhood cancer: retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) before the age of 6 years.
