Multi-sample non-negative spatial factorization

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Loyal Goff | Authors: Multi-sample non-negative spatial factorization | Summary: It is important to model biological variation when analyzing spatial transcriptomics data from multiple samples. One approach to multi-sample analysis is to spatially align samples, but this is a challenging problem. Here, we provide an alignment-free framework for generalizing a one-sample spatial factorization […]

Comparing Automated Subcortical Volume Estimation Methods; Amygdala Volumes Estimated by FSL and FreeSurfer Have Poor Consistency

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Patrick Sadil and Martin A Lindquist | Summary: Subcortical volumes are a promising source of biomarkers and features in biosignatures, and automated methods facilitate extracting them in large, phenotypically rich datasets. However, while extensive research has verified that the automated methods produce volumes that are similar to those generated […]

Human-specific paralogs of SRGAP2 induce neotenic features of microglia structural and functional maturation

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux | Authors: Carlos Diaz-Salazar, Marine A KRZISCH, Juyoun Yoo, Patricia Nano, Aparna Bhaduri, Rudolph Jaenisch and Franck Polleux | Summary: Microglia play key roles in shaping synaptic connectivity during neural circuits development. Whether microglia display human-specific features of structural and functional maturation is currently unknown. We show that the ancestral gene […]
