This study shows that MTRR-1 regulates heterochromatin through mitochondrial homeostasis, not methionine synthesis, in C. elegans.

The paper maps RNA-chromatin interactions in human prefrontal cortex, revealing co-regulatory changes linked to brain evolution and disease pathways.

The paper benchmarks tools for locus-specific TE analysis in scRNA-seq, finding older TEs are more accurately quantified, while young TEs face challenges due to multi-mapping reads.

The paper uses combinatorial CRISPR-Cas9 perturbations in brain organoids to uncover regulatory hierarchies of human-specific genes involved in cortical evolution.

This study identifies the ADNP-KDM1A-GTF2I complex as critical for neural differentiation balance in HVDAS by repressing transposable elements and regulating gene transcription.

This study investigates how YY1 mutations disrupt corticogenesis by altering transcriptional networks in neural progenitors and neurons, with non-cell-autonomous effects on astrocytes.
