3D epigenome of glial cell types in developing human cortex - Nature

Report on integrated 3D epigenomic maps for four mid-gestation human glial cell types, highlighting cell-type regulatory elements and evolutionary differences.

Key Takeaways
  • Human cortex is complex and heterogeneous, undergoing extensive expansion during development 1 , 2
  • Expansion of the human cortex is an extremely complex process that separates us from other mammals 6 , 7
  • As much of our current knowledge is driven by transcriptional analysis
