The paper improves mouse and rat genome annotation by identifying unannotated genes and transcripts using a new pipeline applied to RNA-seq data.

The paper identifies Foxn3 as a transcriptional repressor that limits primary cilia formation in the developing retina by regulating cilia-related genes.

The paper identifies gene expression patterns in the hippocampus of rats that predict internalizing and externalizing behaviors, linking them to genetic variation and biological processes.

This study identifies miR-216b and Foxn3 as regulators of amacrine cell formation in the developing mouse retina, showing their roles in cell fate determination and neuronal subtype specification.

This study converts astrocytes into functional neurons to reverse Parkinson's disease in mice by suppressing PTB, restoring dopamine levels and nigrostriatal pathways.

This study identifies gene expression differences in the hippocampus of selectively-bred rats associated with internalizing and externalizing behaviors across development and adulthood.
