People’s avatars and DNA structure on world map. Current human reference genomes do not account for genetic diversity. RNA sequencing uncovered the extent of ancestry bias in transcriptomics.

A woman with grey hair sits at the edge of her bed, bending down and holding her right knee. She seems to be in pain—joint pains are characteristic of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, though researchers recently found that their immune system may have become activated before their symptoms emerge.

A blue pig with a red kidney is on the left-hand side of the image. A translucent human torso with black organs (except the left kidney, which is red). Red square outlines frame the kidneys, both in the pig and the human, indicating the interspecies organ transplant. A vertical, grey double-stranded DNA is at the center of the image, indicating the alpha-gal genetic modification in pigs, which has significantly improved xenotransplantation outcomes.
