Purple plants   p587
doi:10.1038/ng.3585
The genetics of plant breeding cannot by itself end hunger and malnutrition nor ensure sustainable food production. However, driven by genomics, it provides tools with which to raise the research profile and standards of two related fields that together will do so: agronomy, as it relates to crop ecology and evolution, and nutritional natural products research.

The history of the Y chromosome in man   pp588 - 589
Jennifer F Hughes & David C Page
doi:10.1038/ng.3580
Studies of the Y chromosome over the past few decades have opened a window into the history of our species, through the reconstruction and exploitation of a patrilineal (Y-genealogical) tree based on several hundred single-nucleotide variants (SNVs). A new study validates, refines and extends this tree by incorporating >65,000 Y-linked variants identified in 1,244 men representing worldwide diversity.

The carrot genome sequence brings colors out of the dark   pp589 - 590
Jordi Garcia-Mas & Manuel Rodriguez-Concepcion
doi:10.1038/ng.3574
The genome sequence of carrot (Daucus carota L.) is the first completed for an Apiaceae species, furthering knowledge of the evolution of the important euasterid II clade. Analyzing the whole-genome sequence allowed for the identification of a gene that may regulate the accumulation of carotenoids in the root.

DNA-sequence-specific erasers of epigenetic memory   pp591 - 592
Iva Mozgova & Claudia Köhler
doi:10.1038/ng.3579
How epigenetic regulators find their specific targets remains a challenging question. Two parallel studies show that REF6, a plant H3K27me3 demethylase, binds a specific DNA motif via its zinc-finger domains and recruits the SWI/SNF-type ATPase BRAHMA, demonstrating a sequence-specific recruitment mechanism for a chromatin-modifying complex.

doi:10.1038/ng.3561
Kari Stefansson and colleagues report discovery of 13 variants with large effects on non-HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol or triglyceride lipid fractions. They further show that, among these lipid fractions, the non-HDL cholesterol genetic risk score associates most strongly with coronary disease and confers risk beyond that of LDL cholesterol and that, after accounting for non-HDL cholesterol, neither HDL cholesterol nor triglyceride genetic risk scores associate with coronary disease.

Michinori Toriyama, Chanjae Lee, S Paige Taylor, Ivan Duran, Daniel H Cohn, Ange-Line Bruel, Jacqueline M Tabler, Kevin Drew, Marcus R Kelly, Sukyoung Kim, Tae Joo Park, Daniella Braun, Ghislaine Pierquin, Armand Biver, Kerstin Wagner, Anne Malfroot, Inusha Panigrahi, Brunella Franco, Hadeel Adel Al-lami, Yvonne Yeung, Yeon Ja Choi, University of Washington Center for Mendelian Genomics, Yannis Duffourd, Laurence Faivre, Jean-Baptiste Rivière, Jiang Chen, Karen J Liu, Edward M Marcotte, Friedhelm Hildebrandt, Christel Thauvin-Robinet, Deborah Krakow, Peter K Jackson & John B Wallingford
doi:10.1038/ng.3558
John Wallingford and colleagues combine proteomics, in vivo imaging and genetic analyses to identify a new ciliopathy-associated protein module, which they call CPLANE. They show that CPLANE proteins, which include Fuzzy, Inturned and Wdpcp, interact with Jbts17 at basal bodies, where they act to recruit a specific subset of intraflagellar transport proteins.

doi:10.1038/ng.3562
Amanda Spurdle, Ian Tomlinson, Douglas Easton and colleagues conduct a GWAS meta-analysis and identify five new risk loci for endometrial cancer. Functional studies show that one risk-associated SNP is located in an active chromatin region that interacts with the KLF5 promoter.

Recurrent activating mutations of G-protein-coupled receptor CYSLTR2 in uveal melanoma   pp675 - 680
Amanda R Moore, Emilie Ceraudo, Jessica J Sher, Youxin Guan, Alexander N Shoushtari, Matthew T Chang, Jenny Q Zhang, Edward G Walczak, Manija A Kazmi, Barry S Taylor, Thomas Huber, Ping Chi, Thomas P Sakmar & Yu Chen
doi:10.1038/ng.3549
Yu Chen and colleagues describe a new constitutively activating mutation in the G-protein-coupled receptor CYSLTR2 in patients with uveal melanoma lacking mutations in the G-protein-encoding genes GNAQ and GNA11. They find that expression of the mutant leads to increased expression of melanocyte-lineage signature genes and promotes tumorigenesis in vivo.

Histone H3 globular domain acetylation identifies a new class of enhancers   pp681 - 686
Madapura M Pradeepa, Graeme R Grimes, Yatendra Kumar, Gabrielle Olley, Gillian C A Taylor, Robert Schneider & Wendy A Bickmore
doi:10.1038/ng.3550
Wendy Bickmore, Madapura Pradeepa and colleagues identify a new class of active enhancers marked by histones with modifications on residues in the globular domain. They find that H3K64ac and H3K122ac are markers for active promoters and enhancers in embryonic stem cells and human cancer cell lines.

Concerted genomic targeting of H3K27 demethylase REF6 and chromatin-remodeling ATPase BRM in Arabidopsis   pp687 - 693
Chenlong Li, Lianfeng Gu, Lei Gao, Chen Chen, Chuang-Qi Wei, Qi Qiu, Chih-Wei Chien, Suikang Wang, Lihua Jiang, Lian-Feng Ai, Chia-Yang Chen, Songguang Yang, Vi Nguyen, Yanhua Qi, Michael P Snyder, Alma L Burlingame, Susanne E Kohalmi, Shangzhi Huang, Xiaofeng Cao, Zhi-Yong Wang, Keqiang Wu, Xuemei Chen & Yuhai Cui
doi:10.1038/ng.3555
Yuhai Cui and colleagues report that the H3K27 demethylase REF6 targets genomic loci containing a specific DNA motif via its zinc-finger domains. They show that REF6 facilitates the recruitment of BRM and that deleting the DNA motif from a target gene in Arabidopsis makes it inaccessible to REF6.

REF6 recognizes a specific DNA sequence to demethylate H3K27me3 and regulate organ boundary formation in Arabidopsis   pp694 - 699
Xia Cui, Falong Lu, Qi Qiu, Bing Zhou, Lianfeng Gu, Shuaibin Zhang, Yanyuan Kang, Xiekui Cui, Xuan Ma, Qingqing Yao, Jinbiao Ma, Xiaoyu Zhang & Xiaofeng Cao
doi:10.1038/ng.3556
Xiaofeng Cao and colleagues report that the H3K27 demethylase REF6 binds directly to a specific DNA sequence through its Cys2His2 zinc-finger domains. They show that Arabidopsis thaliana mutants for REF6 exhibit defects in cotyledon separation, thereby linking sequence-specific H3K27me3 demethylation to organ boundary formation.
