Abstract

Technological advances have enabled high-throughput omics assays, such as parallelized screening of lipids across plasma samples. Pioneering a new paradigm for neuropsychiatric biomarker discovery, Yap et al. describe a large-scale systematic analysis of comprehensive phenotypic, genotypic, environmental, and lipidomic data to unravel the intricate interplay between these and autism-associated traits.

Keywords: biomarkers; lipidomics; neuropsychiatry; omics.
