Trust, mistrust, and the promise of AI in genomics for African populations
Gaye, Bonham, and Mersha argue that trustworthy AI in African genomics requires representative African datasets, transparent and validated models, African-led governance, local capacity, and culturally grounded community engagement so that AI reduces, …

Bi-allelic loss-of-function variants in TMEM63B cause syndromic surfactant dysfunction disorder
We identify five individuals from four unrelated families harboring bi-allelic loss-of-function variants in TMEM63B with childhood interstitial lung disease and developmental delay. Convergent data from affected individuals and mouse model experiments …

Identifying condition-related cell-cell communication events using supervised tensor analysis
Cell-cell communication (CCC) events coordinate physiological functions in multicellular organisms and are important for exploring biological processes and disease mechanisms. We introduce STACCato, a tensor-based regression model that assesses conditi…

HiFi sequencing accurately identifies clinically relevant variants in paralogous genes
Long-read HiFi genome sequencing combined with Paraphase enables comprehensive detection of all clinically relevant variant types in paralogous genes. It resolves “dark” regions while enabling haplotype phasing, accurate gene and pseudogene copy-number…

Patricia A. Jacobs (1934–2026)
Patricia Ann Jacobs died on the March 15, 2026, aged 91 years. In her late 80s, she developed Alzheimer disease, and her final three years were spent in a nursing home until she died shortly after suffering a major stroke. Pat will be principally remem…

This month in The Journal
Existing best practices for pre-clinical and clinical research are not well-suited for individualized therapeutic approaches that leverage new treatment modalities, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). The increasing number of individualized ASOs…
