We previously published a paper that described the discovery of many new genes contributing to autism and neurodevelopment (Talkowski et al., 2012, Cell). Among these loci was a series of genes involved in chromatin modification and transcriptional regulation, which proposed a new pathway of genes involved in autism and neurodevelopment. Most prominent among those genes [...]

In two papers published in Cell Stem Cell in 2014, we demonstrated the genomic consequences of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology, both at the targeted site of alteration and through genome-wide analyses to identify unintended mutagenesis through off-target effects. In both studies, our analyses suggest that the off-target effects of CRISPR/Cas9 are minimal, and that the [...]
