genetic variations that underlie it. Many tools exist that predict the deleteriousness of variants in the human genome; PolyPhen2, SIFT or CADD (combined annotation dependent depletion), to name only a few examples. On page 109 of our March issue Yuval Itan et al. present the mutation significance cutoff (MSC) to replace a global threshold for calling variants deleterious, often used for CADD scores, with a gene-level threshold. For MSC, as for any other variant prediction tool, it was important to validate the quality of the predictions with variants known to be deleterious. Established mutation databases are often used as ground truth to test the quality of prediction tools. MSC, for example, was validated against variants found in two large databases, HGMD and ClinVar.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/2016/01/understanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html#more-2385" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-50057" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tell-a-friend?id=2385">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-50057"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F01%2Funderstanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=Understanding+and+documenting+variation+in+human+genomes+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F01%2Funderstanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F01%2Funderstanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html&title=Understanding+and+documenting+variation+in+human+genomes">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F01%2Funderstanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html&title=Understanding+and+documenting+variation+in+human+genomes">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F01%2Funderstanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F01%2Funderstanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html&title=Understanding+and+documenting+variation+in+human+genomes">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F01%2Funderstanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F01%2Funderstanding-and-documenting-variation-in-human-genomes.html&title=Understanding+and+documenting+variation+in+human+genomes">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article> <article> <div id="wpn-post-49331" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-6 wpn-even wpn-alt wpn-author-nicole-rusk wpn-has-excerpt wpn-category-cell-biology wpn-category-editorials wpn-category-stem-cells cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2015-10-05T12:55:08+01:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2015-10-05">05 Oct 2015 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="12:55:08+0100"> 12:55 BST</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/2015/10/the-ethics-of-self-organizing-tissue.html'>The ethics of self-organizing tissue</a></h2> <p class="wpn-byline">Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/author/nicole-rusk/" title="Nicole Rusk">Nicole Rusk</a></span><span class="divider"> | </span><span class="category"><span class="before">Categories: </span><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/cell-biology/" rel="tag">Cell Biology</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/editorials/" rel="tag">Editorials</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/stem-cells/" rel="tag">stem cells</a></span></p> <div class="wpn-entry-summary"> <p>It becomes increasingly clear that stem cells are able to form remarkably complex structures in vitro, if they are handled right.
