From gene to protein: Gene expression quantification offers new insights

physorg.com — “How do genes control us? This fundamental question of life still remains elusive despite decades of research. Genes are blueprints for proteins, but it is the proteins that actually carry out vital functions in the body for maintaining life. Diseases such as cancer are not only characterized by altered ...View full resource at physorg.com

Sporadic mutations identified in children with autism spectrum disorders

sciencedaily.com — “Scientists have identified several newly occurring mutations in children with autism spectrum disorder by sequencing their and their parents' protein coding sections of the genome. In four of the families, they identified new mutations that alter proteins involved in nerve or brain function and are potentially causative for autism.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Gene Variants in Autism Linked to Brain Development - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “New research on the genomics of autism confirms that the genetic roots of the disorder are highly complicated, but that common biological themes underlie this complexity. While the gene alterations are individually very rare, they mostly appear to disrupt genes that play important functional roles in brain development and nerve signaling.View full resource at qualitypointtech.net
