A defining feature of primates is the expansion and increased complexity of the cerebral cortex, processes that are largely associated with evolutionary adaptations of the neural progenitor-enriched outer subventricular zone (OSVZ). Yet, the genetic mechanisms underlying the emergence of the primate OSVZ remain unknown...

The gradual expansion and folding of the cortex are key factors in human cognitive evolution, yet their molecular underpinnings remain not well understood. Here we identify cyclin B1 interacting protein 1 (CCNB1IP1) gene as a key regulator of human brain evolution using tree shrew as an outgroup. In primates, CCNB1IP1...

A non-random nuclear "ribome," the genome-wide landscape of embedded rNMPs, enriched in GC-rich regions, regulatory elements, and telomeres, is revealed, revealing a connection between ribonucleotide processing and transcription-associated DNA topology in human cells.
