Chromatin regulators and neural stem cell identity

Chromatin regulator MLL1 helps neural stem cells "remember" their positional identity as the brain gets larger and anatomically more complex.

Systematic CRISPR-based screens for genome function

lncRNAs have exquisitely cell type-specific function. Machine learning identifies predictors of function. Comparison to all coding genes and Perturb-seq reveals unique lncRNA function in neural development.
