A Next Generation Connectivity Map: L1000 Platform and the First 1,000,000 Profiles.

TL;DR: The expanded CMap is reported, made possible by a new, low-cost, high-throughput reduced representation expression profiling method that is shown to be highly reproducible, comparable to RNA sequencing, and suitable for computational inference of the expression levels of 81% of non-measured transcripts.

Brain-Specific Phosphorylation of MeCP2 Regulates Activity-Dependent Bdnf Transcription, Dendritic Growth, and Spine Maturation

TL;DR: It is shown that neuronal activity and subsequent calcium influx trigger the de novo phosphorylation of MeCP2 at serine 421 (S421) by a CaMKII-dependent mechanism, which controls the ability of Me CP2 to regulate dendritic patterning, spine morphogenesis, and the activity-dependent induction of Bdnf transcription.
