A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

Background Current standard-of-care (SOC) methods for genetic testing are capable of resolving deletions and sequence variants, but they mostly fail to provide information on the breakpoints of ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...

Researchers have created detailed genetic maps that show how large networks of genes drive disease, filling in long-missing biological gaps. The breakthrough could change how scientists identify and ...
