This study identifies Tex15 as a gene required for maintaining diversity in odorant receptor expression in mouse olfactory neurons.

This paper investigates the role of POGZ in maintaining chromatin architecture and transcription in the developing mouse cortex, finding that its loss disrupts H3K9me3 distribution and impairs neuronal gene expression.

This study shows that Tex15 regulates vomeronasal receptor diversity and pheromone detection in mice, with its absence leading to impaired aggression behaviors.

This study shows that HP1β regulates olfactory receptor choice and neuronal identity in mice by modulating H3K9me3 levels and chromatin structure, leading to changes in OR expression patterns and reduced receptor diversity.

This study shows that loss of MARK2 in vivo causes dendritic spine changes, reduced excitatory transmission, and behavioral impairments, including seizures and cognitive deficits.

The paper shows that opposing epigenetic forces in olfactory progenitors spatially restrict stochastic OR choice through transcription and silencing influenced by NFIA, B, and X gradients.

The paper shows that zonal olfactory receptor expression in mice is regulated by chromatin structure, genome architecture, and NFIA/B/X gradients, with dorsal ORs being silenced in ventral zones.

The paper shows antisense lncRNA transcription is required for stochastic Protocadherin promoter choice in neurons.
