SWI/SNF Complex Connects Signaling and Epigenetic State in Cells of Nervous System.

SWI/SNF protein complexes are evolutionarily conserved epigenetic regulators described in all eukaryotes. In metameric animals, the complexes are involved in all processes occurring in the nervous system, from neurogenesis to higher brain functions. On the one hand, the range of roles is wide because the SWI/SNF complexes act universally by mobilizing the nucleosomes in a chromatin template at multiple loci throughout the genome.

De Novo Transcriptome Profiling of Brain Tissue from the Annual Killifish .

is a genus of small annual killifish found in Africa. Due to the relatively short lifespan, as well as easy breeding and care, fish are becoming widely used as a vertebrate model system. Studying the genome and transcriptome of these fish is essential for advancing the field.
