Project Details
Description
will clarify the functional impact of three genes involved in epigenetic regulation that are mutated in both schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). “Epigenetics” refers to environmental factors that affect gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Using mouse models, Dr. Xu will study their temporal and spatial expression patternidentify target genes and evaluate the functional impact of altered activity of these genes on brain development.
