Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have created the first detailed map showing how genetic activity is controlled in individual cells of the adult human brain and spinal cord. The study, published ...

Bionano Genomics and Greenwood Genetic Center have announced a study published in Genome Research, marking the first use of optical genome mapping (OGM) to explore the genetic factors behind neural ...

Some CREs are shared between genes but affect each gene differently, and a CRE that affects a gene's expression might be located far from the gene itself. "During this process, we were able to ...

The pathology of mental disorders is complex. Researchers can’t just attribute mental disorders to one or a few single mutations in a gene or protein — there are too many factors at play. After all, ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...

Baylor Genetics, a leading diagnostic genomics partner offering a full spectrum of clinically relevant genetic testing, today announced enhancements to its Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) test with the ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.
