  "summary": "This study aims to quantify the genetic similarity of different species (from fish to humans) to the human reference genome (pp6, Homo sapiens.GRCh38) based on the allele presence/absence patterns of 33 language/cognition related gene SNV loci, identify key breakpoints during evolution, and evaluate the enrichment of language and cognition genes at these breakpoints. We designed a similarity…",
