Torino: Revealing Hidden mRNA Isoforms Driving Disease at ASHG 2025
Torino Unveils Hidden Isoforms in Disease-Linked Gene Expression At the ASHG 2025 meeting, researchers from the University of Chicago and Columbia University presented Torino, an innovative computational workflow designed to decode transcript structures and quantify isoform expression directly from read coverage in biobank-scale RNA-seq data. This approach challenges the reliance on pre-existing transcript annotations and…

Your DNA and cannabis: genes linked to use and risk
DNA and cannabis: what a new study reveals Researchers have long asked how much our choices around cannabis are shaped by biology versus environment. A landmark study from the University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with DNA testing service 23andMe, provides fresh evidence that genetics play a meaningful role in cannabis use, how often…

DNA May Hold Key to Cannabis Use and Addiction Risk
New evidence connects DNA to how we relate to cannabis In one of the largest genetic studies of its kind, researchers have found that certain genes linked to cannabis use also connect to a range of mental health, cognitive, and physical traits. The work, conducted by scientists at the University of California, San Diego, in…

DNA Clues: How Your Genes May Shape Your Relationship With Cannabis
New genetic links between cannabis use and brain function Researchers are shedding light on why people respond to cannabis in different ways. In one of the largest studies of its kind, scientists from the University of California, San Diego, and the DNA testing service 23andMe analyzed genetic data from more than 130,000 participants who reported…
