Sequencing the whole genomes of individual mouse neurons reveals that each cell carries roughly 100 unique mutations.

Researchers injected cells from an African-American individual into mouse embryos, creating white mice with black spots.

For some pregnant women, taking the supplement carnitine may lower the risk of having a child with autism.

In a feat of genetic engineering, researchers have found a way to recreate DNA duplications and deletions in human stem cells.

Scientists dish about the biggest challenges they face as they tackle tough questions about autism.

A molecular Swiss army knife for DNA is hewing a path to clarify the subtle effects of thousands of autism-linked mutations.

Disrupting cell-to-cell contact among developing neurons, even briefly, may alter their fates for good.

A European initiative that aims to provide a framework for clinical trials in autism has developed tools to track treatment responses.

These short reports from our reporter, Jessica Wright, give you the inside scoop on developments at the 2015 American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting.

A new method lets researchers spy on cells as they gain and lose chemical tags on their DNA.
