    Neuromolecular Med 11:183-99. 2009
    ..Thus, we propose that a combination of REST, microRNAs and possibly other non-coding RNAs profoundly affect the neuronal transcriptome in HD...

    Rory Johnson
    Stem Cell and Developmental Biology Group, Genome Institute of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore
    PLoS Genet 8:e1002624. 2012
    ..Recently available ChIP-seq data allow the annotation of human genetic polymorphisms with regulatory information to generate prior hypotheses about their disease-causing mechanism...
  6. ncbi Human long non-coding RNAs promote pluripotency and neuronal differentiation by association with chromatin modifiers and transcription factors
    Shi Yan Ng
    Stem Cell and Developmental Biology Group, Genome Institute of Singapore, Singapore
    EMBO J 31:522-33. 2012
    ..This study indicates that lncRNAs are important regulators of pluripotency and neurogenesis, and represents important evidence for an indispensable role of lncRNAs in human brain development...
  7. ncbi REST regulates distinct transcriptional networks in embryonic and neural stem cells
    Rory Johnson
    Stem Cell and Developmental Biology, Genome Institute of Singapore, Singapore
    PLoS Biol 6:e256. 2008

    Yuh Man Sun
    School of Biochemistry and Microbiology, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom
    Mol Biol Cell 16:5630-8. 2005
    ..These data indicate that the REST regulon is specific to each developmental stage and support the notion that REST plays distinct roles in regulating gene expression in pluripotent ES cells, multipotent NS cells, and mature neurons...

    Rory Johnson
    Institute of Membrane and Systems Biology, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK
    Nucleic Acids Res 34:3862-77. 2006
    ..Most of these sequences are associated with transposable elements, leading us to propose that transposon-mediated duplication and insertion of RE1s has led to the acquisition of novel target genes by REST during evolution...
