The paper identifies a neuron-astrocyte gene expression program, SNAP, that declines in aging and schizophrenia, linking it to cognitive function and genetic risk factors.

This study investigates how the 22q11.2 deletion affects gene expression in neural progenitor cells and neurons, linking it to schizophrenia risk through altered presynaptic gene products.

The paper identifies a common genetic variant in IFITM3 that explains most inter-individual variation in neural progenitor cell susceptibility to Zika virus using natural genetic variation and synthetic perturbations.

Census-seq pools cells from >100 human donors into "cell villages" and quantifies donor DNA before and after selection to map genetic effects on cellular traits.
