Long‑Range Gene Networks Uncover 641 New Schizophrenia‑Associated Genes

Schizophrenia’s genetic landscape just expanded dramatically. A new study in Nature Genetics identifies 641 previously unrecognized genes associated with schizophrenia , thanks to a modeling framework that captures how distant genetic variants regulate gene expression through co‑expression networks . The work reframes schizophrenia not as a collection of isolated genetic hits, but as a disorder shaped by long‑range regulatory relationships across the brain. The study is titled, “Co‑expression‑based models improve eQTL predictions for transcriptome‑wide association studies and highlight new schizophrenia‑associated genes .”

中国农科院植保所根结线虫RNAi技术完成全链条验证,通用靶标Mekk-3具广谱潜力

世界农化网中文网报道:根结线虫是危害蔬菜等经济与粮食作物最严重的植物寄生线虫之一,寄主超3000种,全球年经济损失达数百亿美元。传统化学杀线虫剂面临抗药性和环境风险,亟需绿色替代技术。RNAi技术通过外源dsRNA特异性沉默靶基因,具有高度选择性和环境友好性,目前在害虫和病毒防治领域已率先实现商业化。然而,裸露的dsRNA在土壤中易降解,线虫对其摄取效率低下,加之不同物种及靶基因对RNAi的敏感性差异大、缺乏通用递送系统,长期制约其田间应用,相关研究仍多停留在实验室阶段。
