A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing links left by traditional genetic studies. The technique could transform how ...
