New Technology Reveals Genetic Origins of Autism: Brain Organoids Uncover Insights
A new technology that relies on brain organoids – artificial mini-brains grown in the laboratory – has revealed the genetic origins of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the human brain. This technique, called CHOOSE (Single-cell RNA Sequencing in Human Organoids for CRISP), combines advanced genetics with quantitative bioinformatics to investigate genetic mutations known to be … Read more
