No impact without data access   p691
doi:10.1038/ng.3351
A considerable proportion of the usefulness and interest of research publications in our field comes from the data and associated metadata. We therefore insist that data be available for peer reviewers to see and readers to use. Authors should use public permanent repositories designed for appropriately consented data.

Double trouble in human aneuploidy   pp696 - 698
Miguel A Brieño-Enríquez & Paula E Cohen
doi:10.1038/ng.3344
Crossing over, or reciprocal recombination, is essential for accurate segregation of homologous chromosomes at the first meiotic division, resulting in gametes containing the correct chromosome number. A new study in human oocytes analyzes the genome-wide recombination and segregation patterns in all the products of female meiosis, providing experimental support for existing theories about the origin of human aneuploidies and highlighting a novel reverse segregation mechanism of chromosome segregation during meiosis.

Sweet size control in tomato   pp698 - 699
Andrew Fleming
doi:10.1038/ng.3345
All cells of an adult plant are ultimately derived from divisions that occur in small groups of cells distributed throughout the plant, termed meristems. A new study shows that carbohydrate post-translational modification of a peptide signal influences meristem and, as a consequence, fruit size in tomato.

Lipid transport and human brain development   pp699 - 701
Christer Betsholtz
doi:10.1038/ng.3348
How the human brain rapidly builds up its lipid content during brain growth and maintains its lipids in adulthood has remained elusive. Two new studies show that inactivating mutations in MFSD2A, known to be expressed specifically at the blood-brain barrier, lead to microcephaly, thereby offering a simple and surprising solution to an old enigma.

Meta-analysis of the heritability of human traits based on fifty years of twin studies   pp702 - 709
Tinca J C Polderman, Beben Benyamin, Christiaan A de Leeuw, Patrick F Sullivan, Arjen van Bochoven, Peter M Visscher & Danielle Posthuma
doi:10.1038/ng.3285
Danielle Posthuma, Peter Visscher and colleagues report a meta-analysis of 17,804 traits based on virtually all twin studies from the last 50 years. For a majority of traits, twin resemblance seems solely due to additive genetic variation and lacks evidence for a substantial influence of shared environment or non-additive genetic variation.

Recurrent somatic mutations in regulatory regions of human cancer genomes   pp710 - 716
Collin Melton, Jason A Reuter, Damek V Spacek & Michael Snyder
doi:10.1038/ng.3332
Michael Snyder and colleagues analyze whole-genome sequencing data from eight cancer subtypes and identify recurrent mutations in regulatory regions. They find evidence for positive selection of mutations in transcription factor binding sites near cancer-related genes.

doi:10.1038/ng.3324
Da-Zhi Wang and colleagues knock out Trbp in mouse cardiomyocytes in vivo and investigate its requirement for normal heart function. They find that Trbp is necessary for the biogenesis of miR-208a, which targets and represses Sox6.

A cascade of arabinosyltransferases controls shoot meristem size in tomato   pp784 - 792
Cao Xu, Katie L Liberatore, Cora A MacAlister, Zejun Huang, Yi-Hsuan Chu, Ke Jiang, Christopher Brooks, Mari Ogawa-Ohnishi, Guangyan Xiong, Markus Pauly, Joyce Van Eck, Yoshikatsu Matsubayashi, Esther van der Knaap & Zachary B Lippman
doi:10.1038/ng.3309
Zachary Lippman and colleagues report mutations in the tomato ortholog of CLV1 and a gene encoding a hydroxyproline O-arabinosyltransferase enzyme that modifies CLV3, both of which cause fasciated flowers and fruits owing to increased meristem size. They also find that a natural mutation in CLV3 was a major target of selection during tomato domestication.
