Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have presumably contributed to the emergence of the novel expression patterns, higher brain functions, and skills underlying human evolution. However, it is incompletely understood how new miRNAs have evolved in the human lineage because their initial emergence predictably entailed deleterious consequences due to their powerful multitarget effects. Here, we report genetic variation and...
