Accelerated Evolution of Conserved Noncoding Sequences in Humans

TL;DR: The results indicate that widespread cis-regulatory changes in human evolution may have contributed to uniquely human features of brain development and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PsychENCODE project

TL;DR: The PsychENCODE project aims to produce a public resource of multidimensional genomic data using tissue- and cell type–specific samples from approximately 1,000 phenotypically well-characterized, high-quality healthy and disease-affected human post-mortem brains, as well as functionally characterize disease-associated regulatory elements and variants in model systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human-specific gain of function in a developmental enhancer.

TL;DR: In transgenic mice, a conserved noncoding sequence (HACNS1) that evolved extremely rapidly in humans acted as an enhancer of gene expression that has gained a strong limb expression domain relative to the orthologous elements from chimpanzee and rhesus macaque.
