Robust inference of positive selection on regulatory sequences in human brain

2020-03-11

Abstract excerpt

A long standing hypothesis is that divergence between humans and chimpanzees might have been driven more by regulatory level adaptions than by protein sequence adaptations. This has especially been suggested for regulatory adaptions in the evolution of the human brain. There is some support for this hypothesis, but it has been limited by the lack of a reliable and powerful way to detect positive selection on regul...
