The UCLA Newsroom made a press release for a Nature paper by Parikshak et al. using gene expression data from RNA-seq in postmortem human brain to show changes in cortical patterning, gene regulation, and alternative splicing in ASD. The story was covered by Medical Xpress on December 5 and Technology.org on December 6. A diagram from Parikshak et al.’s paper is shown below depicting standard patterns for active genes in individuals with typical brains vs the patterns in the brains of individuals with autism.
