This study creates a spatially-resolved transcriptional atlas of the murine dorsal pons using snRNA-seq and MERFISH, identifying 120 neuronal subtypes and their spatial distribution.

The paper identifies a Purkinje cell to parabrachial nucleus pathway that enables cerebellar influence over forebrain regions involved in nonmotor functions, distinct from the traditional deep cerebellar nuclei pathway.

The paper identifies X-linked genes that escape X-inactivation in twins across tissues, showing variability between individuals and suggesting genetic and environmental influences.

This study quantifies XCI skewing in female twins across tissues, showing age- and tissue-specific heritability and associations with smoking in older females.
