Almost 60 years have passed since the initial discovery by Hubel and Wiesel that changes
in neuronal activity can elicit developmental rewiring of the central nervous system (CNS) …

More than a hundred genes have been identified that, when disrupted, impart large risk for
autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Current knowledge about the encoded proteins—although …

Some individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) carry functional mutations rarely
observed in the general population. We explored the genes disrupted by these variants from …

Rare coding variation has historically provided the most direct connections between gene
function and disease pathogenesis. By meta-analysing the whole exomes of 24,248 …

To capture the full spectrum of genetic risk for autism, we performed a two-stage analysis of
rare de novo and inherited coding variants in 42,607 autism cases, including 35,130 new …

Genetic risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with hundreds of genes
spanning a wide range of biological functions,,,,–. The alterations in the human brain …

The mechanisms underlying phenotypic heterogeneity in autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
are not well understood. Using a large neuroimaging dataset, we identified three latent …

Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene programs, thereby controlling diverse cellular
processes and cell states. To comprehensively understand TFs and the programs they …

Inflammation is increasingly recognized as a cause or consequence of common problems of
humanity including obesity, stress, depression, pollution and disease states such as …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are major contributors to genetic diversity and disease. While
standardized methods, such as the genome analysis toolkit (GATK), exist for detecting short …
