Deciphering the Role of Rapidly Evolving Conserved Elements in Primate Brain Development and Exploring Their Potential Involvement in Alzheimer's Disease
1 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Although previous studies have identified human-specific accelerated regions as playing a key role in the recent evolution of the human brain, the characteristics and cellular functions of rapidly evolving conserved elements (RECEs) in ancestral primate lineages remain largely unexplored. Here, based on large-scale primate genome assemblies, we identify 888 RECEs that have been highly conserved in primates that...
