Mice grow bigger brains when given this stretch of human DNA Finding adds to the bigger picture of how humans developed such large brains.

Taking a snippet of genetic code that is unique to humans and inserting it into mice helps them grow bigger brains than usual

A human-specific enhancer fine-tunes radial glia potency and corticogenesis - Nature HARE5, a human accelerated region enhancer, modulates cortical development by influencing neural progenitor cell behaviour, leading to an enlarged neocortex with increased functional independence betw...

Thrilled to share our latest study out in @natureportfolio.nature.com led by the fantastically talented Jing Liu. Our study provides insight into a long standing question in biology: What molecular features make us uniquely human and how do these function? www.nature.com/articles/s41...
