The 2014 IMB Conference on Nuclear RNA in Gene Regulation & Chromatin Structure will focus on the emerging roles of RNA molecules in regulating gene expression and in affecting chromatin structure in the nucleus. The meeting aims on bringing together the latest concepts and findings in the field. Keynote speakers will be Ruth Lehmann and Steven E. Jacobsen.

Frontiers Research Topics are collections of articles around a subject area at the cutting edge of knowledge and organized by leading researchers. 

Gene interactions in pharmacogenomics
In recent years, research in pharmacogenomics has evolved from a candidate-gene approach to genome-wide association studies. This topic, hosted in the open-access journal Frontiers in Genetics, focuses on gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, and on interactions among pharmacogene regulatory elements.

Cancer gene discovery goes mobile   pp928 - 929
Louise van der Weyden, Marco Ranzani & David J Adams
doi:10.1038/ng.3072
A new study describes a tool, Lentihop, for somatic insertional mutagenesis in human cells and uses this system in combination with cancer genome data to define new genes and pathways involved in sarcoma development. Gene discovery in this way suggests that we are far from a complete catalog of cancer drivers.

RNA switch at enhancers   pp929 - 931
Jeffrey J Quinn & Howard Y Chang
doi:10.1038/ng.3074
Polycomb/Trithorax response elements (PRE/TREs) are genetic elements that can stably silence or activate genes. A new study describes how long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) transcribed from opposite strands of the Drosophila melanogaster vestigial PRE/TRE throw the switch between these two opposing epigenetic states.

An evolutionary genomic tale of two rice species   pp931 - 932
Michael D Purugganan
doi:10.1038/ng.3071
The domestication of African rice, Oryza glaberrima, occurred separately from that of the much more widespread Asian rice species Oryza sativa. Analysis of the whole-genome sequence for O. glaberrima shows the extent to which the same genes were involved in these distinct but parallel evolutionary events.

Multi-tiered genomic analysis of head and neck cancer ties TP53 mutation to 3p loss   pp939 - 943
Andrew M Gross, Ryan K Orosco, John P Shen, Ann Marie Egloff, Hannah Carter, Matan Hofree, Michel Choueiri, Charles S Coffey, Scott M Lippman, D Neil Hayes, Ezra E Cohen, Jennifer R Grandis, Quyen T Nguyen & Trey Ideker
doi:10.1038/ng.3051
Trey Ideker and colleagues report a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, reporting that TP53 mutations are frequently accompanied by loss of chromosome 3p. Their data indicate that the combination of these two events has a stronger negative effect on survival rate than either event alone.

A framework for the interpretation of de novo mutation in human disease   pp944 - 950
Kaitlin E Samocha, Elise B Robinson, Stephan J Sanders, Christine Stevens, Aniko Sabo, Lauren M McGrath, Jack A Kosmicki, Karola Rehnström, Swapan Mallick, Andrew Kirby, Dennis P Wall, Daniel G MacArthur, Stacey B Gabriel, Mark DePristo, Shaun M Purcell, Aarno Palotie, Eric Boerwinkle, Joseph D Buxbaum, Edwin H Cook Jr, Richard A Gibbs, Gerard D Schellenberg, James S Sutcliffe, Bernie Devlin, Kathryn Roeder, Benjamin M Neale & Mark J Daly
doi:10.1038/ng.3050
Mark Daly and colleagues present a statistical framework to evaluate the role of de novo mutations in human disease by calibrating a model of de novo mutation rates at the individual gene level. The mutation probabilities defined by their model and list of constrained genes can be used to help identify genetic variants that have a significant role in disease.

A genetic mechanism for Tibetan high-altitude adaptation   pp951 - 956
Felipe R Lorenzo, Chad Huff, Mikko Myllymäki, Benjamin Olenchock, Sabina Swierczek, Tsewang Tashi, Victor Gordeuk, Tana Wuren, Ge Ri-Li, Donald A McClain, Tahsin M Khan, Parvaiz A Koul, Prasenjit Guchhait, Mohamed E Salama, Jinchuan Xing, Gregg L Semenza, Ella Liberzon, Andrew Wilson, Tatum S Simonson, Lynn B Jorde, William G Kaelin Jr, Peppi Koivunen & Josef T Prchal
doi:10.1038/ng.3067
Josef Prchal and colleagues identify a mutation in EGLN1 associated with adaptation to high altitude in Tibetan individuals. Their functional studies suggest a mechanism acting to reduce the erythropoietic response to hypoxia.

Genome-wide association analyses identify variants in developmental genes associated with hypospadias   pp957 - 963
Frank Geller, Bjarke Feenstra, Lisbeth Carstensen, Tune H Pers, Iris A L M van Rooij, Izabella Baranowska Körberg, Shweta Choudhry, Juha M Karjalainen, Tine H Schnack, Mads V Hollegaard, Wout F J Feitz, Nel Roeleveld, David M Hougaard, Joel N Hirschhorn, Lude Franke, Laurence S Baskin, Agneta Nordenskjöld, Loes F M van der Zanden & Mads Melbye
doi:10.1038/ng.3063
Frank Geller and colleagues report the results of a large genome-wide association study of hypospadias. They identify 18 susceptibility regions for this common congenital condition, many of which harbor genes important for embryonic development.

Human somatic cell mutagenesis creates genetically tractable sarcomas   pp964 - 972

doi:10.1038/ng.3065
Rama Khokha and colleagues report a new mutagenesis method, called Lentihop, for creating spontaneous, genetically tractable tumors from normal human cells. Through genetic analysis of Lentihop-derived tumors, they find known drivers of sarcomas and identify new candidate tumor suppressor genes, including HDLBP and ADARB2.

A strand-specific switch in noncoding transcription switches the function of a Polycomb/Trithorax response element   pp973 - 981
Veronika A Herzog, Adelheid Lempradl, Johanna Trupke, Helena Okulski, Christina Altmutter, Frank Ruge, Bernd Boidol, Stefan Kubicek, Gerald Schmauss, Karin Aumayr, Marius Ruf, Andrew Pospisilik, Andrew Dimond, Hasene Basak Senergin, Marcus L Vargas, Jeffrey A Simon & Leonie Ringrose
doi:10.1038/ng.3058
Leonie Ringrose and colleagues show that a switch between forward and reverse noncoding transcription at the Drosophila melanogaster vestigial Polycomb/Trithorax response element switches the status of the element between silencing and activation. They further show that strand switching of noncoding RNAs occurs at several hundred PcG-binding sites in flies and vertebrates, suggesting that this regulatory mechanism could be widespread.

doi:10.1038/ng.3044
Mingsheng Chen, Klaus Mayer, Steve Rounsley, Rod Wing and colleagues report the genome sequence of African rice (Oryza glaberrima), a different species than Asian rice. The authors resequenced 20 O. glaberrima accessions and 94 Oryza barthii accessions (the putative progenitor species of O. glaberrima), and their analyses support the hypothesis that O. glaberrima was domesticated in a single region along the upper Niger river.
