A team led by investigators at the Broad Institute reports having sequenced the genomes of 25 metastatic melanomas and matched germline DNA, through which it identified a "wide range of point mutation rates," and PREX2 as a significantly mutated gene in melanomas.

Robert Drago, who The Chronicle of Higher Education called "one of the most prominent scholars of policies promoting work-life balance in academe" in a 2010 story the GenomeWeb Careers blog covered here, has been convicted of misdemeanor sexual abuse of a minor in Superior Court of Washington, DC, the Chronicle now reports.
In September, Drago was charged with misdemeanor sexual abuse and misdemeanor sexual abuse of a minor because of "complaints that Mr. Drago's then-girlfriend, Laurie A. Bonjo, and her 17-year-old daughter filed in late July with the Washington police following an alleged encounter that month between Mr. Drago and the girl," the Chronicle reported at the time.
