New study from our lab led by @ckvuong and A Weber where we uncover mechanisms of Down syndrome during development. Thanks to all co-authors and the labs of @jsteinlab, W Lowry, D Geschwind, and @mikejg84 for their invaluable contributions.

Also check out the study by André M. M. Sousa and Anita Bhattacharyya investigating Down syndrome in the early postnatal brain: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
And a perspective summarizing both studies: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
New preprint from our lab led by an amazing team, @ckvuong and Alexis Weber, were we employ single-cell multi-omics in the developing brain to uncover mechanisms of Down syndrome.

New from @GeschwindLab: As part of the PsychENCODE Consortium, we performed single nucleus RNA and ATAC sequencing on ASD and Control brain samples to identify cell type–specific changes and the cellular regulatory networks perturbed by genetic risk factors. (1/)

How do quantities of brain cells – the fundamental unit of life – differ in Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and autism? Our work on cell-type proportion shifts using methylomics is just out in @ScienceAdvances #PsychENCODE @mikejg84 @DanielVo10 science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… 🧵

New in @ScienceMagazine: Our paper mapping gene/isoform/splicing regulation at pop-scale during human #neurodevelopment.
Major developmental shifts in #genetic reg.,
New colocalized risk genes at ~60% of #psych #GWAS loci. #PsychENCODE24

Very proud of this incredible team which led this innovative work to move us closer to understanding the impact of isoform diversity in the developing brain and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Its out today in @ScienceMagazine.

Special thanks to @connorjops for his prompt analytical support during the project, and @ckvuong for her meticulous review ensuring no oversights in the manuscript.

This week in Science, @ScienceAdvances, and @ScienceTM, the #PsychENCODE Consortium lay out findings based on examining human brains at the single-cell level.

Our paper on splicing isoforms in developing human brain is finally out in @ScienceMagazine! So grateful to @LTULab and @mikejg84 for letting me be part of this amazing work. Congrats @ashokpatowary Pan Zhang @connorjops! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Thanks for helping us share this work more broadly. Very excited to see how this resource will facilitate better understanding of brain development and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Researchers @UCLA & @Penn led by @LTULab & @mikejg84 have uncovered over 200,000 new gene transcripts in the developing human brain. Their findings could enhance our understanding of brain maturation & genetic risks for neuropsychiatric disorders. ucla.in/3wDH97t
Wonderful time and science yesterday at @UWWaismanCenter. Thanks for the opportunity to share our work!
