DNA methylation signatures in a rat model of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
https://braincanada.ca/funded-grants/dna-methylation-signatures-in-a-rat-model-of-fetal-alcohol-spectrum-disorderPrenatal alcohol exposure can result in abnormal brain development, causing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), which is linked to a number of cognitive, behavioural, and immune deficits that last across the lifetime. Project Overview Prenatal alcohol exposure can result in abnormal brain...
