The Hunt for Autism Genes

A visualization of the human genetic information contained in the SFARI Gene database. The outer shell displays a curated subset of genes spread across the 23 chromosome pairs. The color of each gene indicates the confidence of the gene’s predicted link to autism, with red indicating the strongest links. The shell’s interior connects genes associated with the same protein interaction

SFARI Research: Highlights from 2016

Image of three vertical neurons. Neurons with a mutation have fewer synapses (middle) than typical mice (left), work by Feng and colleagues shows. This synapse deficit can be reversed if the gene gets turned on, even in adulthood (right).

SFARI Research Roundup

Mice deficient in the gene Rai1 are characteristically obese with learning, memory and balance problems. In normal adult mice, the gene is widely expressed through the brain (yellow marks regions with higher expression).
