Massively parallel approaches for characterizing noncoding functional variation in human evolution.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic differences underlying unique phenotypes in humans compared to our closest primate relatives have long remained a mystery. Similarly, the genetic basis of adaptations between human groups during our expansion across the globe is poorly characterized. Uncovering the downstream phenotypic consequences of these genetic variants has been difficult, as a substantial portion lies in noncoding regions, such...
