Genes Affecting Vocal and Facial Anatomy Went Through Extensive Regulatory Divergence in Modern Humans
2017-02-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Regulatory changes are broadly accepted as key drivers of phenotypic divergence. However, identifying regulatory changes that underlie human-specific traits has proven very challenging. Here, we use 63 DNA methylation maps of ancient and present-day humans, as well as of six chimpanzees, to detect differentially methylated regions that emerged in modern humans after the split from Neanderthals an...
