LINE-1 retrotransposons drive human neuronal transcriptome complexity and functional diversification
Published: CRISPRi-silencing of LINC01876 results in reduced size of cerebral organoids and premature differentiation of neural progenitors, implicating L1s in human-specific developmental processes. In summary, the authors’ results demonstrate that L1-derived transcripts provide a previously undescribed layer of primate- and human-specific transcriptome complexity that contributes to the functional diversification of the human brain.

Article
The annotation and function of the Parkinson’s and Gaucher disease-linked gene GBA1 has been concealed by its protein-coding pseudogene GBAP1
Here, the authors identify novel transcripts from both GBA1 and GBAP1, including protein-coding transcripts that are translated in vitro and detected in proteomic data, but that lack GCase activity.
