copy number variants

Troves of sequencing data reveal genes tied to autism through different variant types, providing a more complete picture of the condition’s genetic roots and new clues to its heterogeneity.

As the importance of genomic copy number variations for health and disease becomes clearer, researchers are creating new ways to detect these changes in the genome.

Duplication of copy number variants may be the source of greatest diversity among people, researchers find.

Using citation statistics, the firm forecasts which researchers are likely to take home science’s top honors this year.

Neurons within a person’s brain exhibit striking variations in DNA copy number.

Deletions or duplications of a certain genomic region implicated in autism can induce autism-like brain and behavior changes in mice.
