A targeted long-read sequencing approach questions the association of OXTR methylation with high-functioning autism

Abstract Background DNA sequence variation and altered epigenetic regulation of the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) have been implicated in autism and autistic-like behaviors. While previous studies have examined subsegments of OXTR, nanopore Cas9-targeted sequencing (nCATS) allows deep characterizati...
