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 ...

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

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...
