A.I. Reveals Autism-Linked Changes in "Junk" DNA | SciShow News

The video discusses the genetic factors contributing to autism, highlighting the challenges in identifying specific DNA changes. It explains the role of de novo mutations and the significance of non-coding DNA in gene expression. A new study using AI has found associations between autism and changes in non-coding DNA, suggesting that these changes may be as influential as coding ones. The research opens new avenues for understanding autism and emphasizes the need for further exploration of non-coding DNA's impact on gene expression.

How did the researchers in the new study utilize artificial intelligence?

What role do non-coding DNA changes play in autism according to the study?

What future implications do the researchers suggest regarding non-coding changes and ASD?
