Genes

A new behavioral test in zebrafish may help researchers zero in on the biology of social interactions.

A new study reveals a ‘master regulator’ of many of the hundreds of genes linked to autism.

Software to identify genetic variants, along with a new synthetic human genome, could help scientists discover mutations associated with conditions such as autism.

The protein missing in fragile X syndrome, FMRP, facilitates the production of hundreds of unusually large proteins, some of which are linked to autism.

Injecting a virus toting snippets of RNA into the rodent brain enables researchers to express genes in specific neuron types.

David and Bernardo Sabatini, brothers born just a year and a half year apart, invent their way to answering big questions about autism.

The absence of several interacting genes may underlie the developmental problems seen in people missing a segment of chromosome 16.
