  1. ...than 1.5 in retina or brain microglia. Among these, several AMD-associated genes showed selective or preferential expression in retina microglia (Fig. 5E), whereas those linked to AD exhibited similar patterns in brain microglia (Fig. 5H; Hansen et al. 2018). We observed that AMD genes that were highly...
  2. ...-specific duplications in primates and marsupials. Expansions along the primate lineage produced paralogs with high brain-specific expression, whereas the majority of opossum genes show low liver-specific expression. Guschanski et al. 1470 Genome Research www..org be important to systematically study transcriptional...
  3. ...that distinguish classes of X- and Z-linked genes is thus crucial to understanding the selective pressures underlying the molecular events of mammalian and avian sex chromosome evolution.Emerging evidence suggests a role for gene dosage sensitivity in mammalian and avian sex chromosome evolution. X- and Z...
  4. ...-nucleotide variants (SNVs) all demonstrated positive selection or accelerated evolution in primates. We predicted that GMAS SNVs often alter binding of splicing factors, with SRSF1 affecting the most GMAS events and demonstrating global allelic binding bias. However, in contrast to their GMAS targets, the predicted...
  5. ...contributor to brain architecture and functional evolution, as well as to the development process and aging (Belgard et al. 2011; Aprea et al. 2013; Telley et al. 2016). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a subgroup of RNA longer than 200 nucleotides (nt), yet have limited protein-coding potential. Many lnc...
  6. ...reconstructed for each brain region are shown in Supplemental Figure S5. (J) Total branch length calculated for the reconstructed phylogenetic trees for each of the 33 brain regions grouped by expression-based regional clusters I–VII, defined in G.Of the 11,176 detected orthologous protein-coding genes, 2801...
  7. ...patterns are consistent with the action of natural selection. Together, these observations consistently support the inference that when genes perform an important function that needs to be carefully regulated, evolution can act on multiple levels of the regulatory cascade in primates.Focusing on species...
  8. ..., Berkeley, California 94701, USA Corresponding author: akeyj@uw.edu Abstract It has long been hypothesized that changes in gene regulation have played an important role in human evolution, but regulatory DNA has been much more difficult to study compared with protein-coding regions...
  9. ...revealed that site-selected editing of protein-coding genes in primates is induced by adjacent inverted Alu repeats or intronic duplex, which function as the recruitment elements for the ADAR enzymes (Daniel et al. 2013, 2014). In this study we found additional editing in the vicinity of pre...
  10. ...but not fixed in other nonhuman primates seem to be enriched for processes related to stimulus detection, sensory perception, and skin development. Such biological processes may be associated with the evolution of human-specific cognitive traits and the response to new environments, respectively. Our results...
