Topic: transcriptomic

Over the past years, genetic studies have uncovered hundreds of genetic variants to be associated with complex brain disorders. While this really represents a big step forward in understanding the genetic etiology of brain disorders, the functional interpretation of these variants remains challenging. We aim to help with the functional characterization of variants through transcriptomic data analysis. For instance, we rely on brain transcriptome atlases, such as Allen Brain Atlases, to infer functional relations between genes. One example of this is the identification of signaling mechanisms o
