Lessons from the human genome: transitions between euchromatin and heterochromatin

TL;DR: Phylogenetic and comparative studies of pericentromeric sequences suggest that this peculiar genome organization has emerged within the last 30 million years of human evolution and is a source of considerable genomic variation between closely related primate species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complexity and conservation of regulatory landscapes underlie evolutionary resilience of mammalian gene expression.

TL;DR: Analysis of promoter and enhancer activity and levels of downstream transcripts in liver samples from 15 mammalian species finds an association between the complexity of the regulatory landscape and the evolutionary stability of gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Both noncoding and protein-coding RNAs contribute to gene expression evolution in the primate brain.

TL;DR: Digital gene expression: tag profiling is used to assess changes in global transcript abundance in the frontal cortex of the brains of 3 humans, 3 chimpanzees, and 3 rhesus macaques and finds that many noncoding transcripts are conserved in both location and expression level between species, suggesting a possible functional role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Sequence and Transcriptional Profile of the Boundary Between Pericentromeric Satellites and Genes on Human Chromosome Arm 10p

TL;DR: It is indicated that recent interchromosomal duplications at this centromere have involved transcriptionally inert, satellite rich DNA, which is likely to be heterochromatic, which suggests that any novel gene structures formed by these inter chromosomal events would require relocation to a more open chromatin environment to be expressed.
