    Genome-wide mapping of native co-localized G4s and R-loops in living cells

    Ting Liu, Xing Shen ... Zhihong Xue
    The newly developed antibody-free techniques, HepG4-seq for G-quadruplexes and HBD-seq for R-loops, robustly reveal the comprehensive maps of native G-quadruplexes and R-loops, as well as their roles in transcriptional regulation.

    Systematic evaluation of multifactorial causal associations for Alzheimer’s disease and an interactive platform MRAD developed based on Mendelian randomization analysis

    Tianyu Zhao, Hui Li ... Li Chen
    A new online data analysis platform, Mendelian Randomization for Alzheimer’s Disease (MRAD), enables the identification of risk or protective factors for Alzheimer’s disease.

    Transcriptional inhibition after irradiation occurs preferentially at highly expressed genes in a manner dependent on cell cycle progression

    Zulong Chen, Xin Wang ... Jessica K Tyler
    Genetic, cellular, and molecular analyses reveal that the reduced abundance of total nascent transcripts that occurs after irradiation is largely due to the repression of histone and rRNA encoding genes.

    Regulatory genome annotation of 33 insect species

    Hasiba Asma, Ellen Tieke ... Marc S Halfon
    Over 2.8 million tissue-specific gene regulatory sequences are predicted for 33 insect genomes, using a simple computational workflow with only the genome sequence and a basic gene annotation as input.

    Cell class-specific long-range axonal projections of neurons in mouse whisker-related somatosensory cortices

    Yanqi Liu, Pol Bech ... Carl CH Petersen
    Whole-brain light-sheet imaging of axons segmented by trained convolutional networks reveals distinct projection patterns of genetically defined classes of neurons in primary and secondary whisker-related somatosensory cortices.

    Heterozygous expression of a Kcnt1 gain-of-function variant has differential effects on somatostatin- and parvalbumin-expressing cortical GABAergic neurons

    Amy N Shore, Keyong Li ... Matthew C Weston
    An epilepsy-associated potassium channel variant causes neuron-type-dependent alterations in ionic currents, neuronal excitability, and network connectivity.

    Cell-cell interaction determines cell fate of mesoderm-derived cell in tongue development through Hh signaling

    Maiko Kawasaki, Katsushige Kawasaki ... Atsushi Ohazama
    Cell-cell interaction between neural crest-derived cells and mesoderm-derived cells determine cell fate of mesoderm-derived cell in tongue development through Hh signaling.
