Journal ArticleDOI

A transcriptome database for astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes: a new resource for understanding brain development and function.

TL;DR: These findings call into question the concept of a “glial” cell class as the gene profiles of astrocyte and oligodendrocytes are as dissimilar to each other as they are to neurons, for better understanding of neural development, function, and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

rMATS: Robust and flexible detection of differential alternative splicing from replicate RNA-Seq data

TL;DR: A new statistical model and computer program, replicate MATS (rMATS), designed for detection of differential alternative splicing from replicate RNA-Seq data, which uses a hierarchical model to simultaneously account for sampling uncertainty in individual replicates and variability among replicates.
Journal ArticleDOI

The bifunctional microRNA miR-9/miR-9* regulates REST and CoREST and is downregulated in Huntington's disease.

TL;DR: It is found that levels of several microRNAs (miRNAs) with upstream RE1 sites are decreased in HD patient cortices relative to healthy controls, providing evidence for a double negative feedback loop between the REST silencing complex and the miRNAs it regulates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and activity of putative intronic miRNA promoters.

TL;DR: It is observed that approximately 35% of intronic miRNAs have upstream regulatory elements consistent with promoter function, and ChIP analysis suggests dual regulation by both intronic (Pol III) and host gene (Pol II) promoters.
