    Affected cell types for hundreds of Mendelian diseases revealed by analysis of human and mouse single-cell data

    Idan Hekselman, Assaf Vital ... Esti Yeger-Lotem
    The PrEDiCT scheme infers disease-affected cell types from the expression of disease-associated genes in single-cell expression atlases, thereby providing cellular context and enhancing mechanistic understanding for 328 Mendelian diseases.

    Detection of new pioneer transcription factors as cell-type-specific nucleosome binders

    Yunhui Peng, Wei Song ... Anna R Panchenko
    A computational method has been developed for predicting the cell-type-specific binding of transcription factors to nucleosomes, and involves integration of ChIP-seq, MNase-seq, and DNase-seq data with details of nucleosome structure.

    β-cell intrinsic dynamics rather than gap junction structure dictates subpopulations in the islet functional network

    Jennifer K Briggs, Anne Gresch ... Richard KP Benninger
    The functional network of β-cells in the pancreatic islet, which has been used to identify important subpopulations of β-cells implicated in diabetes progression, is indicative of intrinsic dynamics rather than structural communication, implying islet robustness.
