A selection of presentations that will be given by past and current SFARI Investigators at Neuroscience 2017 in Washington, D.C., (November 11–15) is highlighted.
SPARK (Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research for Knowledge) is pleased to announce that whole-exome sequencing (WES) and genotyping data are available for 1,369 and 1,398 individuals, respectively.
The SFARI Gene website has been redesigned. The updated platform features a streamlined user interface and new data visualizations, which were engineered with the aim of making it easier for users to find the latest information about genes implicated in autism susceptibility.
Whole-genome sequencing data for a total of 8,975 genomes from the Simons Simplex Collection are now available. This includes 2,174 genomes that have been available since August 2016 (and whose data have now been reprocessed using a new computational pipeline) in addition to 6,801 new genomes.
New Simons VIP Phase 2 data have recently been added to SFARI Base. This data release includes phenotypic data from individuals with 16p11.2 copy number variants (CNVs), 1q21.1 CNVs, and mutations in the following single genes: SCN2A, GRIN2B, PACS1, PPP2R5D, ADNP, MED13L, STXBP1, HIVEP2 and SYNGAP1.
SFARI is pleased to announce that SPARK has launched its research matching program, through which researchers can apply to recruit the SPARK cohort into new research studies. Researchers can submit an application via SFARI Base.
A SFARI channel now exists on bioRxiv, one of the most used preprint servers for biology. This channel should help readers to find preprints reporting SFARI-funded research findings more quickly as well as encouraging more SFARI investigators to post preprints ahead of publication.
