New study in Science uncovers gene-isoform diversity during cortical development and its impact in neurodevelopmental disorders
May 24, 2024
In our new study in collaboration with the Gandal laboratory we profiled gene-isoforms in the developing human neocortex using long-read sequencing technology at bulk and single-cell resolution. We uncovered thousands of previously uncharacterized isoforms with differential expression across cell types and developmental stages. We highlight how these isoform changes may contribute to neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.
