EP 227: Discovering a new neurodevelopmental syndrome in the non-coding genome with Nicky Whiffin of the University of Oxford

On The Genetics Podcast, Patrick is joined by Dr. Nicky Whiffin, Associate Professor and Wellcome Career Development Fellow at the Big Data Institute, University of Oxford. They discuss the discovery of a new neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by mutations in the small nuclear RNA gene RNU4-2, what this reveals about the non-coding genome and the spliceosome, and how large-scale genome sequencing is.
