Autism Speaks said on Tuesday it will collaborate with Google to build the world’s biggest database of genomic information on autism spectrum disorder, creating an open platform for research into causes, treatments and more for the condition that now affects 1 in 68 children. The advocacy organization will use the Google Cloud Platform for the Autism Speaks Ten Thousand Genomes Program, an effort under way to sequence the full genomes of 10,000 people with the condition and their families.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
