New in @Nature: RGC research highlights the FNIP1 pathway as a potential therapeutic for a broad range of cardiometabolic diseases.

Our research confirms this genetic variant association in humans, thanks to RGC-generated exome data from 1M+ people. 🧬

We're excited to see this go live!

The MCPS Imputation Server uses data from the Mexico City Prospective Study and will help researchers fill in gaps in genetic research 🧬

[Regeneron Genetics Center @RegeneronDNA]

Built on RGC sequencing, the new free MCPS Imputation Server is helping expand representation in genomics. 🧬

Developed through our collaboration with @UNAM_MX and @Oxford_NDPH, it uses data from the largest genetic study of a Latin American population to infer missing variants.

Can children shape their parents' lives? ❓

Study shows influence may flow both ways – children’s characteristics can influence family dynamics, challenging the traditional view that influence flows primarily from parents to children. 🧬
