Long-Read Whole Genome Sequencing Data Available for Autism Research

Black-and-white micrograph showing ten human X chromosomes arranged in two rows against a dark background. Several chromosomes display the characteristic fragile-X appearance, with a narrowed or constricted region near the tip of the long arm that gives them a stretched or partially separated shape. Normal X chromosomes, shown on the right side for comparison, appear more uniformly condensed and lack the fragile-site constriction. The image illustrates Q-banded chromosome staining used to identify fragile X chromosome abnormalities.
