This paper presents the first fully phased, diploid, telomere-to-telomere genome of the zebra finch, revealing new genes and structural features.

This study identifies soluble DLK1 from senescent microglia as a factor impairing oligodendrocyte function and altering neuronal activity in aging.

The paper introduces rdeval, a tool for efficiently evaluating and visualizing sequencing read metrics, showing improvements in read quality and genome assembly with PacBio data.

The temporal analysis of gene regulatory networks in human neural stem cells reveals multiple early critical phases associated with cortical disorders and neuropsychiatric traits.

The paper creates a human iPSC model of 4R tauopathy and identifies genetic modifiers of Tau propagation using CRISPRi screening.

The paper presents a scalable pipeline for reference genome assembly and evaluation, demonstrating its effectiveness across 51 vertebrate species using Galaxy.

Gfastats, a C++ tool, computes genome assembly statistics in linear time, converts between FASTA, FASTQ and GFA files, and edits assemblies through a bidirected graph.
