Non-white adults with autism may feel forgotten, names on papers may bias peer reviewers, and eLife will begin charging publication fees.

A new technique acts as a genetic geolocator, pinpointing the precise location of genes that are expressed in the brain.

Researchers have trained a computer algorithm to recognize the characteristics of autism genes.

A landmark collection of gene sequences from more than 60,000 people can help researchers spot mutations linked to autism.

A gene that raises the risk of autism in some people may also give humans an evolutionary boost.

A gene that has strong ties to autism controls the expression of many other autism candidates.

Researchers have repurposed CRISPR, the popular gene-editing tool, for tracing cell lineages in whole organisms.

Criss-crossing the globe on a quest for unusual DNA, researchers have discovered a rare mutation that promises insights into both epilepsy and autism — and points to a treatment.

Mutations in TSC2, a gene typically associated with a syndrome called tuberous sclerosis, are found in many children with autism.

Genetics giant Craig Venter wants to sequence 2 million genomes, CRISPR pioneer Emmanuelle Charpentier just wants to work, and the online building game Minecraft helps people with autism socialize.
