TL;DR: The Trinity method for de novo assembly of full-length transcripts and evaluate it on samples from fission yeast, mouse and whitefly, whose reference genome is not yet available, providing a unified solution for transcriptome reconstruction in any sample.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Hi-C is described, a method that probes the three-dimensional architecture of whole genomes by coupling proximity-based ligation with massively parallel sequencing and demonstrates the power of Hi-C to map the dynamic conformations of entire genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromatin signature reveals over a thousand highly conserved large non-coding RNAs in mammals

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that specific lincRNAs are transcriptionally regulated by key transcription factors in these processes such as p53, NFκB, Sox2, Oct4 (also known as Pou5f1) and Nanog, defining a unique collection of functional linc RNAs that are highly conserved and implicated in diverse biological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Unique Microglia Type Associated with Restricting Development of Alzheimer’s Disease
Hadas Keren-Shaul,Amit Spinrad,Assaf Weiner,Assaf Weiner,Orit Matcovitch-Natan,Raz Dvir-Szternfeld,Tyler K. Ulland,Eyal David,Kuti Baruch,David Lara-Astaiso,Beáta Tóth,Shalev Itzkovitz,Marco Colonna,Michal Schwartz,Ido Amit +14 more
TL;DR: A novel microglia type associated with neurodegenerative diseases (DAM) is described and it is revealed that the DAM program is activated in a two-step process that involves downregulation of microglian checkpoints, followed by activation of a Trem2-dependent program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host microbiota constantly control maturation and function of microglia in the CNS
Daniel Erny,Anna Lena Hrabě de Angelis,Diego Jaitin,Peter Wieghofer,Ori Staszewski,Eyal David,Hadas Keren-Shaul,Tanel Mahlakõiv,Kristin Jakobshagen,Thorsten Buch,Vera Schwierzeck,Olaf Utermöhlen,Eunyoung Chun,Wendy S. Garrett,Kathy D. McCoy,Andreas Diefenbach,Peter Staeheli,Bärbel Stecher,Ido Amit,Marco Prinz +19 more
TL;DR: It is determined that short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), microbiota-derived bacterial fermentation products, regulated microglia homeostasis and mice deficient for the SCFA receptor FFAR2 mirroredmicroglia defects found under GF conditions, suggesting that host bacteria vitally regulate microglian maturation and function.
