The paper identifies genetic modifiers of risk and age at onset in GBA-associated Parkinson disease and Lewy body dementia using large case-control datasets and genome-wide association studies.

This study estimates the heritability of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and finds it to be higher than previous estimates, with low variance explained by polygenic risk scores from Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease.

The paper establishes the landscape of human cell-specific microRNA expression using small RNA-seq data from diverse cell types and tissues, identifying novel microRNA loci and patterns correlated with super-enhancer activity.

The paper introduces TRiP, a method for cell type-specific ribosome profiling, and shows experience-induced changes in translation in mouse CA1 pyramidal cells.
