Abstract

Spatiotemporal gene expression in ALS: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor neuron disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. It has proven difficult to identify the early stages of disease and where it spreads within the body. Maniatis et al. used RNA sequencing to define transcriptomic changes over the course of disease in different regions of the spinal cord of a mouse ALS model and a postmortem human ALS spinal cord. From changes in gene expression, they identified disease-associated pathways and established the key steps in motor neuron degeneration observed in ALS. Science , this issue p. 89

  • Marker genes highlighted in the paper showed general concordance with a recent spatial transcriptomics analysis of the spinal cord and the Allen and Gensat expression databases.

    “Finally, we compared all marker genes that we highlight in this paper (those in Table 1 and all figures) to their patterns in a recent spatial transcriptomics analysis of the spinal cord28 and to the Allen29 and Gensat30 expression databases and found general concordance between these resources (Supplementary Table 4).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
