Abstract
Large scale analysis of gene expression using DNA arrays shows great promise in enhancing our understanding of how the genome constructs the brain. This technology has been employed to analyze gene expression variations in the brain resulting from genetic polymorphisms, drug abuse, aging, and the neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimers disease. Although the data from DNA array analysis is necessarily noisy, thoughtfully designed experiments can give useful insights. In addition, as the use of DNA array technology grows, replicated experiments will provide even greater confidence in drawn conclusions, giving optimism that these methods will yield profound insights into the genomics of the brain.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
