Transcriptome of fetal cortex of tree shrew underlying the emergence of outer subventricular zone

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...
