A multi-tissue epigenomic atlas links the sheep non-coding genome to domestication and complex traits

Zhu Meng, Shiwen Zhang, Ziyang Zhuang, Jiayi He, Fei Liu, Lingyun Wu, Xiangrong Sun, Jingsheng Lu, Xinyi Li, Hao Yang, Mian Gong, Xiaolong Du, Qiao Mei, Hao Li, Guoqing Zhang, , Zhangyuan Pan

SheepEpimap combines 516 histone CUT&Tag, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq datasets from 43 sheep tissues to annotate 2.93 million cis-regulatory elements and 145,407 allele-specific variants for trait interpretation.

Molecular cloning of a novel, nervous system-specific RGS6 isoform lacking canonical G protein regulatory effects and with dominant negative actions

Katelin Dannen, Jianqi Yang, Jacob Bernholtz, Alexander G P Glebov-McCloud, Stefan Strack, John G. Koland, R Fisher, Adele Stewart

The paper identifies a novel RGS6 isoform, RGS6B, which lacks canonical G protein regulatory effects but exhibits dominant negative actions and stabilizes RGS6 binding partners.

Regulator of G protein signaling 6 (RGS6) in ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons promotes EtOH seeking, behavioral reward and susceptibility to relapse

Mackenzie M. Spicer, Matthew A. Weber, Zili Luo, Jianqi Yang, Nandakumar S. Narayanan, Rory Alan Fisher

This study shows that RGS6 in VTA dopamine neurons promotes EtOH seeking, reward, and relapse by enhancing DA transmission through GPCR-Gi/o-DAT signaling.

RGS6 mediates exercise-induced recovery of hippocampal neurogenesis, learning, and memory in an Alzheimer's mouse model

Mackenzie M. Spicer, Jianqi Yang, Daniel Fu, Alison N. DeVore, Marisol Carmela Lauffer, Nilufer S. Atasoy, Deniz Atasoy, Rory Alan Fisher

This paper shows that RGS6 in hippocampal neural progenitors mediates exercise-induced recovery of neurogenesis and cognition in Alzheimer's mice.
