Here's how DNA and connectivity relate: When movements and mating across blocks of territory are taking place smoothly, gene flow is unrestricted, and scientists don't find a difference in DNA between the members of a species or subspecies.

In a related paper published online today in Nature Biotechnology, Konrad Hochedlinger of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute in Cambridge and his colleagues compared the gene expression patterns in mouse iPS cells derived from white blood cells, muscle precursor cells, immune system cells called B cells, and fibroblasts taken from tail tips.

(Mutations in those genes, which are related to basic biochemical processes that take place in all cells, helped the researchers estimate when those groups arose or diverged from their closest relatives, Cracraft says.)

«It's intuitive that taking a vacation reduces biological processes related to stress, but it was still impressive to see the large changes in gene expression from being away from the busy pace of life, in a relaxing environment, in such a short period of time.

Dr. Coyle's Laboratory for Psychiatric and Molecular Neuroscience takes advantage of insights into recently identified genes that confer risk for schizophrenia and related disorders and translates them into genetic mouse models to determine how these mutations affect brain changes as well as function, neurochemistry, and behavior.

RND takes into account possible mutation rate differences among genomic regions by incorporating divergence to a third more distantly related species, and is expected to be inversely proportional to the amount of gene flow.

Increased autism risk was also linked to other maternal gene variants related to less efficient one - carbon metabolism, but only when the mother did not take the prenatal vitamins in the early months before and immediately after conception.
