Microelectrode Array Modeling of Genetic Neurological Disorders in the Era of Next Generation Sequencing
… and the ability to sequence the entire genome of many individuals in a cost-effective manner has led to the revelation of the genetic etiologies of a number of neurological disorders. Parallel advancements in predictive software, for example, have allowed for the annotation of potentially …
