Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal subtype specification in the cerebral cortex.
TL;DR: Recent data regarding the nature of neocortical progenitors is assessed, the roles of individual genes in projection neuron specification are reviewed and the implications for progenitor plasticity are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal Subtype-Specific Genes that Control Corticospinal Motor Neuron Development In Vivo
TL;DR: Loss-of-function experiments in null mutant mice for Ctip2 (also known as Bcl11b), one of the newly characterized genes, demonstrate that it plays a critical role in the development of CSMN axonal projections to the spinal cord in vivo, confirming that the central genetic determinants of the CSMN population are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient construction of sequence-specific TAL effectors for modulating mammalian transcription
Feng Zhang,Le Cong,Le Cong,Simona Lodato,Sriram Kosuri,Sriram Kosuri,George M. Church,George M. Church,Paola Arlotta +8 more
TL;DR: 17 TALEs are synthesized that are customized to recognize specific DNA-binding sites, and it is demonstrated that they can specifically modulate transcription of endogenous genes (SOX2 and KLF4) in human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell diversity and network dynamics in photosensitive human brain organoids
Giorgia Quadrato,Giorgia Quadrato,Tuan V. Nguyen,Tuan V. Nguyen,Evan Z. Macosko,Evan Z. Macosko,John L. Sherwood,John L. Sherwood,Sung Min Yang,Daniel R. Berger,Natalie Maria,Jorg Scholvin,Melissa Goldman,Justin P. Kinney,Edward S. Boyden,Jeff W. Lichtman,Ziv Williams,Steven A. McCarroll,Steven A. McCarroll,Paola Arlotta,Paola Arlotta +20 more
TL;DR: It is found that organoids can generate a broad diversity of cells, which are related to endogenous classes, including cells from the cerebral cortex and the retina, which may offer a way to probe the functionality of human neuronal circuits using physiological sensory stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple knockout mouse models reveal lincRNAs are required for life and brain development

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lncRNAs play critical roles in vivo and provides a framework and impetus for future larger-scale functional investigation into the roles of lncRNA molecules.
