Since the turn of the century, circumstantial evidence has accumulated for the role of imprinted genes (those only expressed from one parent) in mental illnesses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ...

For their discovery of genomic imprinting, developmental biologists Davor Solter and Azim Surani will receive the 2026 Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize, endowed with €120,000, on March 14 at ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed an array that assesses methylation levels of genes located in imprint control regions (ICRs) within the human genome. The array ...

Long-read genome sequencing reveals autism gene variants and structural changes, helping explain missing heritability and advancing precision diagnostics.

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse—a mouse with two male parents—that lived until adulthood. Their results, publishing ...
