Abstract excerpt
Lineage-specific genetic variants play a key role in evolutionary divergence, particularly through changes in cis-regulatory elements that fine-tune gene expression. Massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) provide a powerful approach to characterize these variants at scale. This review highlights how MPRAs have been used to study lineage-specific regulatory activity in enhancer elements, including human...
