Mapping <i>cis</i> - and <i>trans</i> -regulatory target genes of human-specific deletions
2023-12-28
Abstract excerpt
Deletion of functional sequence is predicted to represent a fundamental mechanism of molecular evolution 1,2 . Comparative genetic studies of primates 2,3 have identified thousands of human-specific deletions (hDels), and the cis -regulatory potential of short (≤31 base pairs) hDels has been assessed using reporter assays 4 . However, how structural variant-sized (≥50 base pairs) hDels influence molecular and...
