Migraine associated with increased risk for pregnancy complications
Women are disproportionately affected by migraine, especially during their reproductive years.
Mapping E. coli to overcome antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance, when infection-causing bacteria evolve so they are no longer affected by typical antibiotics, is a global concern.
Researchers Provide Complete Clinical Landscape for Major Gene Linked to Epilepsy and Autism
Researchers have compiled a complete genetic and clinical analysis of more than 400 individuals with SCN2A-related disorder, which has been linked to a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders, including epilepsy and autism. By linking clinical features to genetic abnormalities in a standardized format, the researchers hope their findings lead to improved identification and clinical intervention.
Danforth Center Scientists Collaborate On A $20 Million Nationwide Artificial Intelligence Research Institute
Todd Mockler, PhD, will co-lead a research team applying AI approaches to extract plant phenotypes, from sensor data sets in order to accelerate crop improvement, with a focus on enhancing nitrogen and water use efficiency in major row crops such as corn and soy.
Genetic Causes of Severe Childhood Brain Disorders Found Using New Computational Methods that Process Clinical Features at Scale
A team of researchers have combined clinical information with large-scale genomic data to successfully link characteristic presentations of childhood epilepsies with specific genetic variants.
