New methods to contextualize autism-linked genes, and more
thetransmitter.org
Two new studies address the challenge of identifying functionally relevant autism-linked genes by using predictive modeling and clustering techniques to analyze gene-association data. The first approach creates an atlas of organoid models to explore gene perturbations' effects on developmental pathways, while the second links autism genes to those involved in other conditions like schizophrenia and epilepsy. These methods aim to better prioritize candidate genes for further research.
