Evolutionary biology: Human brain gene wins genome race
Chris P. Ponting1 & Gerton Lunter1
Abstract
The differences in brain size and function that separate humans from other mammals must be reflected in our genomes. It seems that the non-coding 'dark matter' of genomes harbours most of these vital changes.
The human brain is supposed to set us apart from other animals. If so, our genome must retain the imprint of our brain's recent evolution.
- Chris P. Ponting and Gerton Lunter are in the MRC Functional Genetics Unit, University of Oxford, Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QX, UK.
