The paper identifies RGMB as a potential risk factor for East Asian POAG through proteogenomic analysis, showing ancestry-specific associations and lack of colocalization with IOP traits.

This study shows UTY and UTX work together to maintain gene regulation in human stem cells by supporting transcription factor localization and chromatin accessibility.

The paper shows that DNA demethylation during spermatogenesis occurs before nucleosome retention in sperm, contributing to epigenetic reprogramming for embryonic gene regulation.

The paper identifies Polycomb's role in suppressing a female gene regulatory network in Sertoli cells to maintain testicular differentiation.

This study identifies endogenous retroviruses as drivers of species-specific germline transcriptomes in mammals, particularly through their role in gene activation and enhancer function in spermatogenesis.

The paper shows that super-enhancer switching drives bursts in germline gene expression during the mitosis-to-meiosis transition in testis.
