Over the past 5–7 million years, humans and chimpanzees have diverged in brain size, structural complexity, and cognitive abilities despite high conservation of protein-coding genes. Notably, the endogenization and proliferation of retroviral infections within host genomes has introduced numerous sp...
Speciation is associated with substantial rewiring of the regulatory circuitry underlying the expression of genes. Determining which of these changes are biologically relevant and underlie the emergence of the human brain or its unique susceptibility to neural disease has been challenging. Here we a...
