The paper uses multiomic single-cell and spatial data to identify gene regulatory networks and transcription factors driving cortical regionality in the human brain.

The paper compares cellular diversity in the primary motor cortex across human, marmoset, and mouse using single-nucleus transcriptomics and epigenomics, finding conserved cell types and species-specific adaptations.

The paper generates a multimodal cell census and atlas of the mammalian primary motor cortex, revealing a unified molecular genetic landscape and cross-species taxonomy of cell types.

The paper challenges claims of contamination by providing evidence of APP gencDNA insertion breakpoints in Alzheimer's disease samples and supporting the existence of somatic gene recombination.
