Every person is actually a mosaic of genomes, varying across the body and often within the same organ or tissue. Now, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has launched a 5-year, $140 million project to map this universe of genomic diversity—and probe why it matters. Featuring YSM's Flora Vaccarino.

Two distinct abnormalities that arise just weeks after the start of brain development have been associated with the emergence of autism spectrum disorder. The study was co-led by Alexandre Jourdon, Feinan Wu, and Jessica Mariani, all from the Kavli Institute affiliated lab of Flora Vaccarino at Yale School of Medicine.
