Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Promoters are sites of transcription initiation that harbour a high concentration of phenotype-associated genetic variation. The evolutionary gain and loss of promoters between species (collectively, termed turnover) is pervasive across mammalian genomes and may play a prominent role in driving human phenotypic diversity. RESULTS: We classified human promoters by their evolutionary history during the...
