Human Brain Circular RNAs Linked to Neuron Type, Neuropsychiatric Conditions
Using deep RNA sequencing, researchers identified cell type- and disease-related circRNAs in brain samples from individuals with or without Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease.
Single-Cell, Spatial Genomics Studies Unravel Development of Fetal Spinal Cord
The findings, based on single-cell and spatial gene expression analysis of fetal spinal cord samples, could aid the development of spinal cord disease models.
PySeq turns old sequencers into spatial proteomics instruments and the Cricut craft cutting machine into a piece of precision scientific equipment.
Fast-Evolving Human Genome Sequences Found to Have Brain-Related Regulatory Roles
An integrated analysis that spanned thousands of human accelerated regions suggested they harbor regulatory elements with roles in human brain development.
Single-Cell Transcriptomes Reveal Neuronal Cell Types in Mouse Brain Region
With single-cell RNA-seq on thousands of cells from the lateral hypothalamic area of male and female mice, researchers saw dozens of glutamatergic and GABAergic neuron types.
