HudsonAlpha researchers identified transcription factors that may be involved in altered gene expression seen in Alzheimer’s disease. In a recent study, the team, led by Lindsay Rizzardi, PhD from Dr. Rick Myers’ lab, used single-cell technologies to measure gene expression and DNA accessibility in brain tissue from unaffected donors and those with Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology recently published a paper in the American Journal of Human Genetics associating genetic variation in a gene called ZMYM3 with neurodevelopmental disorders. The kicker? They began with one case in Alabama and assembled a cohort of 27 individuals from around the globe using a relatively simple social networking tool and the power of collaborative research.
