摘要:
Last week, Science, Science Advances, and Science Translational Medicine published an extensive set of papers from the PsychENCODE Consortium, a multi-institutional collaboration whose aim is to study the genetics of neuropsychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and schizophrenia. The papers, collectively called PsychENCODE2, apply advances in single-cell and multi-omic technologies to postmortem brain tissue to elucidate factors that may help explain and develop treatments for neuropsychiatric conditions. The new insights gained from these considerable data will hopefully inspire new ways in which the clinical community can find common ground with researchers, something that is not always guaranteed in the contentious mental health field.
