Many human accelerated regions are developmental enhancers

TL;DR: The changes to human non-coding DNA in these ncHAR enhancers may modify the complex patterns of gene expression necessary for proper development in a human- specific manner and are thus promising candidates for understanding the genetic basis of human-specific biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fezf2 expression identifies a multipotent progenitor for neocortical projection neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.

TL;DR: In vivo genetic fate mapping is utilized to demonstrate that Fezf2-expressing radial glial cells (RGCs) exist throughout cortical development and sequentially generate all major projection neuron subtypes and glia and suggest that the existence, and molecular identity, of laminar-fate-restricted RGCs awaits further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of Cre-transgenic mice using Dlx1/Dlx2 enhancers and their characterization in GABAergic interneurons

TL;DR: It is shown that Cre-recombinase is active in a "Dlx-pattern" in the embryonic forebrain of transgenic mice and provided the first in vivo evidence that both I12b and URE2 are direct targets of DLX2 and require Dlx1 and DlX2 expression for proper activity.
