Blockbusters in the World of Evolutionary Genetics
In lieu of a dearth of Hollywood movie blockbusters this summer, apparently geneticists are trying to take up the slack by premiering some astounding finds in the world of basic […]

The common disease, common variant hypothesis (CD/CV) stated that a few common allelic variants could account for the genetic variance in disease susceptibility, whereas the rare variant (CD/RV) hypothesis stated […]
We’re all familiar with the caricature of the stereotypical nerd: male, glasses, nasally monotonic voice, pedantic, obscure sense of humor, highly intelligent, calculators spilling from every pocket, and woefully socially […]
Though humans don’t have the largest and most complex brains of the mammals (those distinctions go to the sperm whale and the elephant, respectively), the complexity of our language and […]
What is a microexon? The explanation may be slightly complex for those not familiar with the basics of genetics, so I’ll review a bit. First off, a gene is a […]
For as popular as the study of synapses and Shank3 have been in autism research, we are still fairly ignorant as to the roles this gene’s products might play in […]
Just this month we published our latest manuscript in the journal, Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, titled, “Genetics studies indicate that neural induction and early neuronal maturation are disturbed in autism.” […]
Unfortunately this week I’m bogged down with a lot of writing (grant, manuscript revision, etc.) and so my post is going to have to be rather short. But I wanted […]
“Vaccine Encephalopathy”. Despite the medical-sounding terminology, it’s a very poorly defined term and is used to describe developmental regression, seizures, and sometimes coma in an infant or young child, beginning […]
A letter was published this month in Nature Genetics by Gaugier et al. which has received notable attention. While many of us may be familiar with rare variants of genes […]
