Journal ArticleDOI

Statistical analysis of spatial expression patterns for spatially resolved transcriptomic studies

TL;DR: Analyzing four published spatially resolved transcriptomic datasets using SPARK shows it can be up to ten times more powerful than existing methods and disclose biological discoveries that otherwise cannot be revealed by existing approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deletion of PIK3C3/Vps34 in sensory neurons causes rapid neurodegeneration by disrupting the endosomal but not the autophagic pathway

TL;DR: These studies represent in vivo characterization of PIK3C3 functions in mammals and provide insights into the complexity of neuronal endo-lysosomal and autophagic pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Mammalian Autophagy by Class II and III PI 3-Kinases through PI3P Synthesis

TL;DR: These studies indicate that while Vps34 is the main PI3P source during autophagy, class II PI3Ks also significantly contribute toPI3P generation and regulate AP biogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic architecture of gene expression levels in wild baboons

TL;DR: The results suggest that genes vary in their tolerance of genetic perturbation, and that this property may be conserved across species, and establish the feasibility of eQTL mapping using RNA-seq data alone, and represent an important step towards understanding the genetic architecture of gene expression in primates.
