Monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia differ in maturation and synaptic transmission

This study compares neuronal phenotypes from monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia, finding differences in synaptic activity and neuronal maturation between affected and unaffected siblings.

DeepMosaic: Control-independent mosaic single nucleotide variant detection using deep convolutional neural networks

DeepMosaic detects mosaic single nucleotide variants without control samples using deep convolutional neural networks, achieving high accuracy and uncovering many variants missed by existing methods.

Somatic mosaicism in the mature brain reveals clonal cellular distributions during cortical development

The paper evaluates brain somatic mosaicism in the adult human to identify rules governing cellular distribution during embryogenesis.

Incorporation of a nucleoside analog maps genome repair sites in post-mitotic human neurons

The paper identifies DNA repair hotspots in post-mitotic human neurons linked to genes essential for their identity and function.

Machine learning reveals bilateral distribution of somatic L1 insertions in human neurons and glia

The paper introduces a machine learning method to detect somatic L1 insertions in human brain tissue, revealing their widespread distribution in neurons and glia and potential role in neuropsychiatric diseases.
