Type I interferon response drives neuroinflammation and synapse loss in Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: Gene expression interrogation revealed that IFN pathway was grossly upregulated in clinical AD and significantly correlated with disease severity and complement activation, therefore, IFN constitutes a pivotal element within the neuroinflammatory network of AD and critically contributes to neuropathogenic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digital sorting of complex tissues for cell type-specific gene expression profiles

TL;DR: A Digital Sorting Algorithm for extracting cell-type specific gene expression profiles from mixed tissue samples that is unbiased and does not require prior knowledge of cell type frequencies is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

- 14 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: A consensus atlas of the human brain transcriptome in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), based on meta-analysis of differential gene expression in 2,114 postmortem samples, is presented, highlighting transcriptional networks altered by human brain pathophysiology and identifying correspondences with mouse models for AD preclinical studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

MARRVEL: Integration of Human and Model Organism Genetic Resources to Facilitate Functional Annotation of the Human Genome.

Julia Wang, +185 more
TL;DR: MARRVEL dramatically improves efficiency and accessibility to data collection and facilitates analysis of human genes and variants by cross-disciplinary integration of 18 million records available in public databases to facilitate clinical diagnosis and basic research.
