Forensic genetics in the omics era - Nature Reviews Genetics Recent advances in forensic genetics have improved the range, precision and reliability of forensic information obtainable from biological trace material. The author reviews how non-targeted and targeted omics approaches and methods are improving crime scene analyses being applied for the identification of perpetrators and their relatives or victims, the prediction of phenotypic traits, and the determination of trace characteristics.

A Review in Nature Reviews Genetics examines how omics approaches and methods are improving crime scene analyses being applied for the identification of perpetrators and their relatives or victims, the prediction of phenotypic traits, and the determination of trace characteristics. 🔒

Methods and applications of in vivo CRISPR screening Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 29 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41576-025-00873-8In vivo CRISPR screens generate high-throughput, unbiased genotype–phenotypes maps for complex biological processes that cannot be studied in vitro. This Review outlines key criteria for understanding, designing and implementing such screens and discusses their potential impact on basic and translational research.

Integrated in vivo combinatorial functional genomics and spatial transcriptomics of tumours to decode genotype-to-phenotype relationships - Nature Biomedical Engineering A method integrates perturbation mapping with 10X Visium spatial transcriptomics to map tumour genetic complexity and heterogeneity.

This is a great set of methods for studying combinatorial effects of cancer mutations on spatial phenotypes.

AI is transforming peer review — and many scientists are worried Artificial intelligence software is increasingly involved in reviewing papers, provoking interest and unease.

🧪 AI-written peer reviews are quietly reshaping science. Despite bans, reviewers are using LLMs to draft critiques, raising fears about shallow analysis, lost peer insight, and the erosion of trust. As @carlbergstrom.com states in the piece "Writing is thinking."
