This study identifies ZC3H18 mutations that stabilize endogenous retroviral RNA, linking ERV RNA accumulation to oncogenesis in zebrafish and human cell lines.

This paper demonstrates the use of CRISPRi/a in zebrafish to modulate gene expression and study gene function in pigmentary and growth phenotypes.

This study evaluates the mouse neural precursor cell line SN4741 as a proxy for midbrain dopaminergic neurons using genomic techniques and finds it lacks key dopaminergic markers and chromatin features.

The paper applies an enhanced scRNA-seq workflow to human coronary artery data, revealing SMC transitions and drug targets through ligand-receptor analysis and an interactive web tool.
