A human transcriptomic deletion links cortical expansion and cancer
Alternative splicing represents a major source of potential evolutionary novelty in protein sequence. Despite this, relatively few studies have investigated the functional impacts of human-specific alternative splicing. Here, we analyze RNA-sequencing data from nine iPSC-derived cell types and identify dozens of human transcriptomic conserved deletions (htCONDELs): evolutionary divergence in…
