Abstract excerpt
Interbreeding between anatomically modern humans and archaic hominins has contributed to the genomes of present-day human populations. However, our understanding of the specific gene regulatory consequences of Neanderthal, and particularly, Denisovan introgression is limited. Here, we used a massively parallel reporter assay to investigate the regulatory effects of 25,869 high-confidence introgressed SNPs...
