UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism ...

A new study published in Nature in the paper, “Developmental convergence and divergence in human stem cell models of autism,” provides new insights by demonstrating that while different mutations ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

The history of genomics has long been a story of reading a book where only every fiftieth page made sense. While the Human Genome Project gave us the full sequence of human DNA over two decades ago, w ...

Google unveils AI that can predict how DNA mutations cause disease - ‘This could add another piece of the puzzle for the ...
