Abstract
None:
Human accelerated regions (HARs) are the fastest-evolving sequences in the human genome since the divergence from chimpanzees. Some of these regions are suspected to have contributed to the evolution of unique human brain features. Recently, Cui et al. conducted a large-scale study identifying which HARs may have influenced neuronal function.
