    Autism spectrum disorder affects about 1 in 36 children in the U.S. While the genetics of autism are complex, scientists had narrowed it down to moms being more likely carriers. Or so they thought! CSHL scientists have now discovered that dad’s genome may play a bigger genetic role. This suggests other neurological disorders may follow a similar pattern.

    ‘MAximum Parsimonious Likelihood Estimation’ (MAPLE) is a maximum likelihood-based approach for inference of phylogenetic trees from very large datasets of similar sequences incorporating a sparse alignment representation and parsimony-based approximations, offering higher accuracy and reduced computational requirements.
