Sequence-to-function deep learning decodes human cis-regulatory evolution

Riley J. Mangan, Nikitha Thoduguli, Dimitar Ivanov, Bessie Li, Krish Vasudev, Tom Zeerow, Jayashabari Shankar, Yuru Lin, Zunpeng Liu, Martin Wohlwend, Janet H. T. Song, M Kellis

This study uses sequence-to-function deep learning to identify lineage-specific cis-regulatory elements in human evolution, finding they are shorter, less conserved, and enriched in neurodevelopmental pathways.

Single-cell transcriptomic atlas of frontoinsular cortex reveals molecular correlates of selective neuronal vulnerability in FTD

Arnar Breevoort, Dimitar Ivanov, Liam Horan-Portelance, Alissa L. Nana, Sarat C. Vatsavayai, Àlex Tudoras, Jenelle L. Wallace, Jingwen W Ding, Felipe L. Pereira, Kristen Fernhoff, Maria Luisa Gorno‐Tempini, Salvatore Spina, Jennifer S. Yokoyama, Howard J. Rosen, Lea T. Grinberg, , Alex A. Pollen

The paper identifies molecular subtypes of neurons in the frontoinsular cortex and links specific gene expression patterns to neuronal vulnerability in FTD.

Accelerated Tempo of Cortical Neurogenesis in Down Syndrome

Jingwen Ding, Chang N. Kim, Marilyn R. Steyert, Andrew T Yuan, David Shin, Dimitar Ivanov, Tomasz Jan Nowakowski, Alex A. Pollen

This study shows that TS21 accelerates radial glia lineage progression, leading to premature production of inhibitory neurons and oligodendrocytes in Down syndrome.
