Kavli Affiliate: Aniruddha Das | Authors: Aniruddha Das, Debojyoti Das, Arundhati Das and Amaresh Chandra Panda | Summary: Current RNA purification methods widely use silica-based columns that allow quick isolation of high-quality and good quantities of RNA. However, the major limitations include high cost, the requirement of different kits for small RNA isolation, genomic DNA […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott Small | Authors: Scott T. Small, Carlo Costantini, N’Fale Sagnon, Moussa W. Guelbeogo, Scott J. Emrich, Andrew D. Kern, Michael C. Fontaine and Nora J. Besansky | Summary: Species distributed across heterogeneous environments often evolve locally adapted ecotypes, but understanding of the genetic mechanisms involved in their formation and maintenance in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert B. Darnell | Authors: Leena Ali Ibrahim, Brie Wamsley, Norah Alghamdi, Nusrath Yusuf, Elaine Sevier, Ariel Hairston, Mia Sherer, Xavier Hubert Jaglin, Qing Xu, Lijua Gao, Alireza Khodadadi-Jamayran, Emilia Favuzzi, Yuan Yuan, Jordane Dimidschstein, Robert Darnell and Gordon Fishell | Summary: Somatostatin interneurons are the earliest born population of cortical inhibitory cells. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott Small | Authors: Scott T Small, Carlo Costantini, N’Fale Sagnon, Moussa W Guelbeogo, Scott J Emrich, Andrew D Kern, Michael C Fontaine and Nora J Besansky | Summary: Abstract Local adaptation results in the formation of ecotypes–conspecific groups with heritable differences that increase fitness to distinct environments. The adaptive significance of ecotypes […]

Cortical inhibitory interneurons (cINs) are born in the ventral […]
Kavli Affiliate: Angela Wu | Authors: Gefei Wang, Jia Zhao, Yan Yan, Yang Wang, Angela Ruohao Wu and Can Yang | Summary: Spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies are revolutionizing the way that researchers explore the spatial architecture of tissues. Currently, ST data analysis is often restricted to 2D space within a single tissue slice, limiting our […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: HiJee Kang and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Listening in complex sound environments requires rapid segregation of different sound sources e.g., speakers from each other, speakers from other sounds, or different instruments in an orchestra, and also adjust auditory processing on the prevailing sound conditions. Thus, fast encoding of […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Nicholas M Dotson, Zachary W Davis, Jared M Salisbury, Stephanie E Palmer, Patrick Cavanagh and John Reynolds | Summary: Abstract The double-drift illusion has two unique characteristics: the error between the perceived and physical position of the stimulus grows over time, and saccades to the moving target land much […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mary E. Hatten, C. David Allis | Authors: Kärt Mätlik, Eve-Ellen Govek, Matthew R. Paul, C. David Allis and Mary E. Hatten | Summary: Abstract Developing neurons undergo a progression of morphological and gene expression changes as they transition from neuronal progenitors to mature, multipolar neurons. Here we use RNA-seq and H3K4me3 and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anders Dale | Authors: Bayram Cevdet Akdeniz, Oleksandr Frei, Alexey Shadrin, Dmitry Vetrov, Dmitry Kropotov, Anders Dale, Eivind Hovig and Ole Andreassen | Summary: Abstract Discoveries from genome-wide association studies often contain large clusters of highly correlated genetic variants, which makes them hard to interpret. In such cases, finemapping the underlying causal variants […]
