 Over a third of all patients with genetic testing do not have a known cause of disease. This research program implements new methods to reveal genes that are the likely cause of disease. We couple these predictions with disease-agnostic modelling to determine whether specific disease variants identified in patients are the cause of disease. Collectively, these approaches will facilitate accelerated classification of disease causing variants for any disease. Over a third of all patients with genetic testing do not have a known cause of disease.

 +**What drives the Anterior Expansion of the Central Nervous System? (Thor, Piper, Bodén) (Australian Research Council Discovery Project 230101750; Jan 2023-Dec 2025)**
 +
 +A striking and highly conserved feature of the central nervous system is that the brain is larger than the spinal cord. Despite the manifest implications this has for nervous system function, the underlying drivers are largely unknown. This project aims to investigate the mechanisms controlling anterior expansion of the central nervous system, and will generate new knowledge in the areas of nervous system development and evolution. This project aims to impact on our understanding of nervous system function, develop bioinformatics tools with broad utility within the biosciences field, strengthen Australia’s international standing in the developmental neuroscience, and enhance the capacity for interdisciplinary international collaborations.

 +**What is the common factor driving brain overgrowth in autism? Investigating the relationship between epigenetic marks and neural stem cell proliferation (Piper, Thor, Bodén) (The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative 2022 Pilot Award; 2022 - 2024)**
 +
 +We will analyze how methylation of H3K36 regulates neural development, with the rationale behind our work being that H3K36 methylation-mediated regulation of NSC proliferation is a central mechanism controlling brain size during development, and that deficits in this process lead to megalencephaly and ASD.
