Reconstructing the 3D genome organization of Neanderthals reveals that chromatin folding shaped phenotypic and sequence divergence
2022-02-08
Abstract excerpt
Changes in gene regulation were a major driver of the divergence of archaic hominins (AHs)—Neanderthals and Denisovans—and modern humans (MHs). The three-dimensional (3D) folding of the genome is critical for regulating gene expression; however, its role in recent human evolution has not been explored because the degradation of ancient samples does not permit experimental determination of AH 3D genome folding. To...
