A new study shows that specific binding by a coactivator protein identifies enhancers that are invisible to common ... http://feeds.nature.com/~r/ng/rss/current/~3/tO2Ho_s54Mw/ng0910-734 Putting a finger on the switch Nature Genetics 42, 733 (2010). doi:10.1038/ng0910-733 Authors: James J Bieker The transition from fetal to adult β-like globin expression is a key step in the maturation of the red blood cell lineage. Two new studies show that the KLF1 zinc finger protein uses direct and indirect means ... http://feeds.nature.com/~r/ng/rss/current/~3/YLwlIpoN4Gk/ng0910-733 Infectious diseases not immune to genome-wide association Nature Genetics 42, 731 (2010). doi:10.1038/ng0910-731 Authors: Paul I W de Bakker & Amalio Telenti Two genome-wide association studies for meningococcal disease and tuberculosis identify new loci associated with susceptibility to these infectious diseases. They highlight a role for the acquired and innate immune systems in ... http://feeds.nature.com/~r/ng/rss/current/~3/gQ5spYUUZJU/ng0910-731 Cite site Nature Genetics 42, 729 (2010). doi:10.1038/ng0910-729 We now have adapted our preprint archive, Nature Precedings, to host project descriptions, community standards papers and funder policies. Citable project descriptions provide a guide to the resources available and create a mechanism to give data producers citation credit. http://feeds.nature.com/~r/ng/rss/current/~3/XsU3OQb0mBk/ng0910-729 An ocean model can account for the trajectory and fragmentation of the recent Gulf of Mexico oil spill.Authors: Igor Mezić, S.
