Comparative transcriptomics in human and mouse

TLDR
Cross-species comparisons of genomes, transcriptomes and gene regulation are now feasible at unprecedented resolution and throughput, enabling the comparison of human and mouse biology at the molecular level.
Abstract
Cross-species comparisons of genomes, transcriptomes and gene regulation are now feasible at unprecedented resolution and throughput, enabling the comparison of human and mouse biology at the molecular level. Insights have been gained into the degree of conservation between human and mouse at the level of not only gene expression but also epigenetics and inter-individual variation. However, a number of limitations exist, including incomplete transcriptome characterization and difficulties in identifying orthologous phenotypes and cell types, which are beginning to be addressed by emerging technologies. Ultimately, these comparisons will help to identify the conditions under which the mouse is a suitable model of human physiology and disease, and optimize the use of animal models.

Expanded encyclopaedias of DNA elements in the human and mouse genomes

Jill Moore, +73 more
- 29 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: The authors summarize the data produced by phase III of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, a resource for better understanding of the human and mouse genomes, which have produced 5,992 new experimental datasets, including systematic determinations across mouse fetal development.

Evolutionary Dynamics of Gene and Isoform Regulation in Mammalian Tissues

TL;DR: For example, this paper found that while tissue-specific gene expression programs are largely conserved, alternative splicing is well conserved in only a subset of tissues and is frequently lineage-specific.

ChromHMM: automating chromatin-state discovery and characterization

TL;DR: ChromHMM is developed, an automated computational system for learning chromatin states, characterizing their biological functions and correlations with large-scale functional datasets, and visualizing the resulting genome-wide maps of chromatin state annotations.

Animal models of neurodegenerative diseases.

TL;DR: The authors review the current state of rodent models for AD, PD, FTD, and ALS and discusses the limitations and utility of current models, issues regarding translatability, and future directions for developing animal models of these human disorders.

Visualizing Data using t-SNE

TL;DR: A new technique called t-SNE that visualizes high-dimensional data by giving each datapoint a location in a two or three-dimensional map, a variation of Stochastic Neighbor Embedding that is much easier to optimize, and produces significantly better visualizations by reducing the tendency to crowd points together in the center of the map.

Principal Component Analysis

TL;DR: Principal component analysis (PCA) as discussed by the authors replaces the p original variables by a smaller number, q, of derived variables, the principal components, which are linear combinations of the original variables.
