      Only five species of the once-diverse Rhinocerotidae remain, making the reconstruction of their evolutionary history a challenge to biologists since Darwin. We sequenced genomes from five rhinoceros species (three extinct ...

      Osteoarthritis affects over 300 million people worldwide. Here, we conduct a genome-wide association study meta-analysis across 826,690 individuals (177,517 with osteoarthritis) and identify 100 independently associated ...

      Rodriguez-Varela, Ricardo; Moore, Kristjan H.S.; Ebenesersdottir, Sunna; Kilinc, Gulsah; Kjellström, Anna; Papmehl-Dufay, Ludvig; Alfsdotter, Clara; Berglund, Birgitta; Alrawi, Loey; Kashuba, Natlija; Sobrado, Veronica; Lagerholm, Vendela Kempe; Gilbert, Edmund; Cavalleri, Gianpiero L.; Hovig, Eivind; Kockum, Ingrid; Olsson, Tomas; Alfredsson, Lars; Hansen, Thomas F.; Werge, Thomas; Munters, Arielle R.; Bernhardsson, Carolina; Skar, Birgitte; Christophersen, Axel; Turner-Walker, Gordon; Gopalakrishnan, Shyam; Daskalaki, Evangelia; Omrak, Ayca; Perez-Ramallo, Patxi; Skoglund, Pontus; Girdland-Flink, Linus; Gunnarsson, Fredrik; Hedenstierna-Jonson, Charlotte; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Lidén, Kerstin; Jakobsson, Mattias; Einarsson, Lars Petter; Victor, Helena; Krzewinska, Maja; Zachrisson, Torun; Storå, Jan; Stefánsson, Kári; Helgason, Agnar; Götherström, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We investigate a 2,000-year genetic transect through Scandinavia spanning the Iron Age to the present, based on 48 new and 249 published ancient genomes and genotypes from 16,638 modern individuals. We find regional variation ...
    • Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders. 

      Lee, Phil H.; Antilla, Verneri; Won, Hyejung; Bettella, Francesco; Agartz, Ingrid; Dale, Anders; Nærland, Terje; Elvsåshagen, Torbjørn; Ødegaard, Ketil Joachim; Melle, Ingrid; Knudsen, Gun Peggy Strømstad; Le Hellard, Stephanie; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Smeland, Olav Bjerkehagen; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Neale, Benjamin M; Kendler, Kenneth S.; Smoller, Jordan W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci. However, the nature and mechanisms of these pleiotropic effects remain unclear. We performed ...
    • Large-scale two-photon calcium imaging in freely moving mice 

      Zong, Weijian; Obenhaus, Horst-Andreas; Skytøen, Emilie; Eneqvist, Hanna; de Jong, Nienke Laura; Vale, Ruben Duque do; Rodrigues Jorge, Marina; Moser, May-Britt; Moser, Edvard Ingjald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      We developed a miniaturized two-photon microscope (MINI2P) for fast, high-resolution, multiplane calcium imaging of over 1,000 neurons at a time in freely moving mice. With a microscope weight below 3 g and a highly flexible ...
    • Parvalbumin and Somatostatin Interneurons Control Different Space-Coding Networks in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex 

      Miao, Chenglin; Cao, Qichen; Moser, May-Britt; Moser, Edvard Ingjald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) contains several discrete classes of GABAergic interneurons, but their specific contributions to spatial pattern formation in this area remain elusive. We employed a pharmacogenetic ...
    • Splice site m<sup>6</sup>A methylation prevents binding of U2AF35 to inhibit RNA splicing 

      Mendel, Mateusz; Delaney, Kamila; Pandey, Radha Raman; Chen, Kuan-Ming; Wenda, Joanna M.; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Steiner, Florian A.; Homolka, David; Pillai, Ramesh S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification is used widely to alter the fate of mRNAs. Here we demonstrate that the C. elegans writer METT-10 (the ortholog of mouse METTL16) deposits an m6A mark on the 3′ splice site ...
