Non-invasive Prenatal Testing WorkflowOpen in viewerThe international molecular diagnostics group Yourgene Health has installed the first non-invasive prenatal testing workflow in Morocco based on the IONA test at the Centre de Biologie Riad (Laboriad). Yourgene’s IONA test is an advanced prenatal screening test that estimates the risk of three fetal genetic aberrations: trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards’ syndrome), and trisomy 13 (Patau’s syndrome).

Behavioral Adaptation Snowy insect barrierMountain goats rest on snow patches to avoid the attention of biting insects. PHOTO: CHARLIE SUMMERS/NPL/MINDEN PICTURESOpen in viewerCold-adapted species can benefit from snow that persists across seasons. As human-induced climate change increases temperatures, such persistent snow patches are being reduced, with unknown impacts on these species.

How much will it cost to meaningfully reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a global scale? The answer is critical for assessments of how to address climate change—affecting public support, political will, and policy choices. We find that the “bottom-up” estimation approach emphasized by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports considerably lower costs for emission reductions than leading “top-down” economic models.

Editor’s summaryMeiotic recombination allows for new combinations of alleles to arise in populations and, thus, for selection to act more effectively. However, this process is also known to be inherently mutagenic, causing high turnover of recombination hotspots during evolution. Hinch et al. assembled variant data to create high-resolution mutational profiles near recombination hotspots in humans (see the Perspective by Baudat and de Massy).

Editor’s summaryClose to absolute zero, the ratio of thermal and charge conductivities of many materials has been found to be proportional to the temperature. This behavior, referred to as the Wiedemann-Franz law, is expected if the same quasiparticles are the carriers of both heat and charge transport. In strongly correlated materials, however, quasiparticles may no longer be well defined. W. Wang et al.
