The paper introduces a missense mouse model of Kabuki syndrome with intact KMT2D function, showing similar phenotypes to loss-of-function models but without altered adult neurogenesis and with novel kidney agenesis.

This study identifies a chimpanzee-specific retroviral insertion that influences gene regulation and brain development, highlighting its role in human-chimpanzee brain divergence.

This study identifies SMYD5 as a regulator of the mild hypothermia response through histone modifications, revealing its role in temperature-dependent gene repression.

This study shows L1 retrotransposons contribute to human brain transcriptome complexity and functional diversification through cell-type specific transcripts and regulatory RNAs.
