Tandemly repeated NBPF 3mer HOR copies (Olduvai triplets) in Neanderthal AltaiNea.hg19 assembly and two novel tandem arrays of NBPF 3mer HOR repeats in complete T2T-CHM13 assembly of human chromosome 1
2023-05-15
Abstract excerpt
It is known that the ∼1.6 kb NBPF repeats are human specific and contributing to cognitive capabilities, with increasing frequency in higher order repeat 3mer HORs (Olduvai triplets). From chimpanzee to modern human there is a discontinuous jump from 0 to ∼50 tandemly organized 3mer HORs. Here we investigate the structure of NBPF 3mer HORs in the Neanderthal genome assembly of Pääbo and collaborators, comparing it...
