Feeling incredibly grateful to be awarded a generous #HealthResearch grant from @caixaresearch.bsky.social and FCT. In this project we will team up with Justin O´Sullivan @drjosull.bsky.social and Gaia Novarino @istaresearch.bsky.social.🧬🎉
1/ Many genetic changes linked to autism spectrum disorder are found in DNA regions that control gene expression.
Supported by the #HealthResearch grant ➕ FCT, Diogo Castro @neurogenesis-i3s.bsky.social investigates how these changes affect brain development.

Our SMLM database is out in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... It allows you to store, share, analyse and compare SMLM data and, in particular, can tell you how similar your data is to the other data stored on the site, as you might do with a gene sequence for example.
