Scientists use large-scale method to study genes associated with autism spectrum disorder – News-Medical.Net

Scientists at Harvard University, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and MIT have developed a technology to investigate the function of many different genres in many different cell types at once, in a living organism.
They applied the large-scale method to study dozens of genes that are associated with an autism spectrum disorder, identifying how specific cell types in the developing mouse brain are impacted by mutations.
The “Perturb-Seq” method, published in the journal Science, is an efficient…
