    Analysis of Clonal Composition in Human iPSC and ESC and Derived 2D and 3D Differentiated Cultures

    Human induced pluripotent and embryonic stem cell cultures (hiPSC/hESC) are phenotypically heterogeneous and prone to clonal deviations during subculturing and differentiation. Clonal deviations often emerge u...

    RNA Sequence Analyses throughout the Course of Mouse Cardiac Laminopathy Identify Differentially Expressed Genes for Cell Cycle Control and Mitochondrial Function

    Lamin A/C (LMNA) gene mutations are a known cause of familial dilated cardiomyopathy, but the precise mechanisms triggering disease progression remain unknown. We hypothesize that analysis of differentially expre...

    Chromatin establishes an immature version of neuronal protocadherin selection during the naive-to-primed conversion of pluripotent stem cells

    In the mammalian genome, the clustered protocadherin (cPCDH) locus provides a paradigm for stochastic gene expression with the potential to generate a unique cPCDH combination in every neuron. Here we report a ch...

    Author Correction: Synaptic N6-methyladenosine (m6A) epitranscriptome reveals functional partitioning of localized transcripts

    In the version of this article initially published, a Supplementary Fig. 6f was cited in the last paragraph of the Results. No such panel exists; the citation has been deleted. The error has been corrected in ...

    Synaptic N6-methyladenosine (m6A) epitranscriptome reveals functional partitioning of localized transcripts

    A localized transcriptome at the synapse facilitates synapse-, stimulus- and transcript-specific local protein synthesis in response to neuronal activity. While enzyme-mediated mRNA modifications are known to ...

    Pluripotency factors functionally premark cell-type-restricted enhancers in ES cells

    Enhancers for embryonic stem (ES) cell-expressed genes and lineage-determining factors are characterized by conventional marks of enhancer activation in ES cells13, but it remains unclear whether enhancers desti...

    ATR inhibition facilitates targeting of leukemia dependence on convergent nucleotide biosynthetic pathways

    Leukemia cells rely on two nucleotide biosynthetic pathways, de novo and salvage, to produce dNTPs for DNA replication. Here, using metabolomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic approaches, we show that inhibit...

    LSD1n is an H4K20 demethylase regulating memory formation via transcriptional elongation control

    The authors show that the neuron-specific LSD1 variant (LSD1n) promotes transcription initiation and elongation in response to neuronal activity. LSD1n is essential for spatial learning and long-term memory fo...

    lncRNA-dependent mechanisms of androgen-receptor-regulated gene activation programs

    A study of prostate cancer cells reveals a transcriptional activation role for long non-coding RNAs (PRNCR1 and PCGEM1) that bind to the androgen receptor, and is also observed for the truncated androgen recep...

    Functional roles of enhancer RNAs for oestrogen-dependent transcriptional activation

    It is unclear whether bidirectional non-coding RNAs transcribed from enhancer elements (eRNAs) have any functional role; here, eRNA transcription is shown to be functionally important during the activation of ...
