The paper measures 5-methyl-cytosine and 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine in human neurons across the lifespan, showing dynamic changes in hmC linked to transcription, chromatin state, and sex-specific gene regulation.

The paper examines age and sex effects on human cortical neurons using multiomic data, finding age-related changes in gene expression and DNA methylation, and sex differences in gene expression and X-inactivation escape.

The paper identifies 46,802 enhancers and 164 psychiatric disorder variants with regulatory effects in the developing cortex and organoids using massively parallel reporter assays and deep learning.

The paper processes single-nuclei multi-omics data from 388 human brains to identify regulatory elements and build cell-type networks, revealing changes in aging and neuropsychiatric disorders.

The paper generates a molecular neuroanatomical map of the human prefrontal cortex using spatial transcriptomics and single nucleus RNA-sequencing, revealing novel spatial domains and cell-cell interactions linked to psychiatric disorders.

The paper examines transcriptome and epigenome changes in C9orf72 repeat expansion-associated ALS and FTD, showing distinct gene expression patterns in different cell types and brain regions.
