Genome-wide association study of CNVs in 16,000 cases of eight common
diseases
and 3,000 shared controls    pp713-720
Copy number variants (CNVs) account for a major proportion of human genetic
diversity and may contribute to genetic susceptibility to disease. Here, a
large, genome-wide study of association between common CNVs and eight common

human diseases is presented. The study provides a wealth of technical
insights
that will inform future study design and analysis. The results also indicate

that common CNVs that can be 'typed' on existing platforms are unlikely to
contribute much to the genetic basis of common diseases.

Phenotypic profiling of the human genome by time-lapse microscopy reveals
cell
division genes    pp721-727
High-throughput microscopy combined with gene silencing by RNA interference
is
a powerful method for studying gene function. Here, a genome-wide method is
presented for phenotypic screening of each of the [sim]21,000 human
protein-coding
genes, using two-day imaging of dividing cells with fluorescently labelled
chromosomes. The method enabled the identification of hundreds of genes
involved
in biological functions such as cell division, migration and survival.

N-myristoyltransferase inhibitors as new leads to treat sleeping
sickness   
pp728-732
African sleeping sickness, caused by Trypanosoma brucei species, is
responsible
for some 30,000 human deaths each year. Available treatments are limited by
poor
efficacy and safety profiles. However, a new molecular target for potential
treatments has now been identified. The protein target is T.
bruceiN-myristoyltransferase.
In further experiments, lead compounds have been discovered that inhibit
this protein, kill trypanosomes in vitro and in vivo, and can cure
trypanosomiasis in mice.
