TLDR
It is suggested that SWI/SNF-like complexes in vertebrates achieve biological specificity by combinatorial assembly of their subunits by preventing the subunit switch impairs neuronal differentiation.

Cerebral organoids model human brain development and microcephaly

TL;DR: A human pluripotent stem cell-derived three-dimensional organoid culture system that develops various discrete, although interdependent, brain regions that include a cerebral cortex containing progenitor populations that organize and produce mature cortical neuron subtypes is developed.

The Biology of Chromatin Remodeling Complexes

TL;DR: This work addresses many aspects of remodeler biology: their targeting, mechanism, regulation, shared and unique properties, and specialization for particular biological processes.

Gene discovery and polygenic prediction from a genome-wide association study of educational attainment in 1.1 million individuals

James J. Lee, +94 more
- 23 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: A joint (multi-phenotype) analysis of educational attainment and three related cognitive phenotypes generates polygenic scores that explain 11–13% of the variance ineducational attainment and 7–10% ofthe variance in cognitive performance, which substantially increases the utility ofpolygenic scores as tools in research.

SWI/SNF nucleosome remodellers and cancer

TL;DR: The contributions of SWI/SNF mutations to cancer formation are discussed, their normal functions are examined and opportunities for novel therapeutic interventions for SWI /SNF-mutant cancers are discussed.

Proteomic and bioinformatic analysis of mammalian SWI/SNF complexes identifies extensive roles in human malignancy

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mSWI/SNF is the most frequently mutated chromatin-regulatory complex (CRC) in human cancer, exhibiting a broad mutation pattern, similar to that of TP53, and proper functioning of polymorphic BAF complexes may constitute a major mechanism of tumor suppression.

An approach to correlate tandem mass spectral data of peptides with amino acid sequences in a protein database.

TL;DR: The approach described in this manuscript provides a convenient method to interpret tandem mass spectra with known sequences in a protein database.
Journal ArticleDOI

Empirical statistical model to estimate the accuracy of peptide identifications made by MS/MS and database search.

TL;DR: A statistical model is presented to estimate the accuracy of peptide assignments to tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra made by database search applications such as SEQUEST, demonstrating that the computed probabilities are accurate and have high power to discriminate between correctly and incorrectly assigned peptides.

Mammalian neural stem cells.

TL;DR: Before the full potential of neural stem cells can be realized, the authors need to learn what controls their proliferation, as well as the various pathways of differentiation available to their daughter cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A statistical model for identifying proteins by tandem mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: A statistical model is presented for computing probabilities that proteins are present in a sample on the basis of peptides assigned to tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra acquired from a proteolytic digest of the sample, and it is shown to produce probabilities that are accurate and have high power to discriminate correct from incorrect protein identifications.
