The paper presents a long-read RNA-seq atlas of microglia isoforms, identifying novel isoforms and their associations with genetic risk loci in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

The paper generates bat induced pluripotent stem cells and finds they contain endogenous viral sequences, suggesting a deep entanglement between bats and viruses.

This paper performs a large-scale eQTL meta-analysis across cerebral cortical and cerebellar brain regions, identifying distinct eQTL patterns and demonstrating improved power over existing studies.

The paper functionally annotates rare structural variants in the human brain by integrating SV calling with RNA-seq data to assess their regulatory effects and prioritize pathogenic deletions.
