Advances in Genetic Research: Exploring the Causes of Autism

The video discusses autism, a disorder affecting communication and relationships, and highlights recent advancements in genetic research. It explains DNA's structure and the significance of genetic differences. The gene chip microarray technology, which can scan for numerous DNA differences, is introduced as a tool aiding in the study of inheritable disorders like autism. The video concludes with a focus on ongoing research using gene chips to identify genes linked to autism, involving 1500 families.

Identify the molecules that make up DNA and their arrangement.

What is the goal of the current autism study involving 1500 families?
