Stable and robust Xi and Y transcriptomes drive cell-type-specific autosomal and Xa responses in vivo and in vitro in four human cell types

The paper identifies sex-chromosomal and autosomal gene responses to Xi and Y dosage in four human cell types, showing robustness in sex-chromosomal effects and cell-type-specific autosomal responses.

Building a growing genomic data repository for maternal and fetal health through the PING Consortium

The PING Consortium builds a genomic data repository to study genetic modifiers of prenatal viral infections' effects on brain development and neurodevelopmental outcomes.

The human Y and inactive X chromosomes similarly modulate autosomal gene expression

The paper shows that the inactive X and Y chromosomes similarly affect autosomal gene expression in human cells through shared transcription factors.

The human inactive X chromosome modulates expression of the active X chromosome

The paper shows that the inactive X chromosome modulates the expression of the active X chromosome in humans, affecting 38% of X-linked genes and contributing to sex differences in disease.
