greater mental capacity. Furthermore, the innate desire to advantage one’s children is so powerful that affluent citizens may buy reprogenetics elsewhere even if their society bans or limits its use—just as Europeans now travel to the USA to purchase human eggs from selected donors. The use of genetic enhancement could greatly increase the gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’ in the worl...

A Cornucopia of Experiment at RHIC

I outline experimental results on heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider for a non-technical audience. This includes: elliptic flow and nearly ideal hydrodynamics; the suppression of hard particles and the ratio RAA; and electromagnetic signals, including dileptons and direct photons. Especially puzzling is why the behavior of heavy (charm) quarks appears to be so similar t...

A Cornucopia of Candidates for Deafness

Many genes involved in deafness are yet to be discovered. Here, Senthilan et al. focus on the Drosophila Johnston's organ to uncover a wide variety of genes, including several unexpected candidates as well as those already known to underlie deafness in mice and humans.

A Cornucopia of Advances in Human Epigenomics

In 21 papers published this week across Cell Press journals, including 5 in this issue of Cell, the International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) pushes forward our understanding of nucleosome positioning and modifications to DNA and histones in primary human cells. Collectively, these papers illuminate how changes to chromatin contribute to cell-type-specific biology, development, variation ...
