Researchers discover that diverse genetic causes of autism converge on shared cell types and temporary maturation delays during early brain development.

COMMENTARY: Why is this latest development generally being hailed as a scientific milestone rather than a giant ethical violation?

Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. "Epigenetic" marks—chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the DNA ...
