	Comment Shadows on the wall Gregory A Petsko Genome Biology 2010, 11:136 (23 September 2010) Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Skepticism is healthy and the toppling of scientific paradigms shouldn’t be feared.

	Research highlight Living the high life: high-altitude adaptation Laura B Scheinfeldt, Sarah A Tishkoff Genome Biology 2010, 11:133 (10 September 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Genome-wide scans show that genetic variants associated with high-altitude adaptation in different geographic populations arose independently.
	Research highlight Unmasking a role for sex chromosomes in gene silencing Danielle M Maatouk, Blanche Capel Genome Biology 2010, 11:134 (27 September 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary New research suggests that sex chromosome dimorphism helps to regulate gene silencing.

	Review
	Review Rat traps: filling the toolbox for manipulating the rat genome Ruben van Boxtel, Edwin Cuppen Genome Biology 2010, 11:217 (29 September 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Efficient gene targeting and mutant generation in the rat are increasing its usefulness as a model animal.
	Research
	Research Sequencing and analysis of an Irish human genome Pin Tong, James GD Prendergast, Amanda J Lohan, Susan M Farrington, Simon Cronin, Nial Friel, Dan G Bradley, Orla Hardiman, Alex Evans, James F Wilson, Brendan Loftus Genome Biology 2010, 11:R91 (7 September 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary The first Irish human genome was sequenced to 11-fold coverage.
