A pipeline to determine RT-QPCR control genes for evolutionary studies: Application to primate gene expression across multiple tissues
(PLoS ONE, 2010)Because many species-specific phenotypic differences are assumed to be caused by differential regulation of gene expression, many recent investigations have focused on measuring transcript abundance. Despite the availability ... -
Comparative Serum Challenges Show Divergent Patterns of Gene Expression and Open Chromatin in Human and Chimpanzee.
(Genome biology and evolution, 2018-03)Humans experience higher rates of age-associated diseases than our closest living evolutionary relatives, chimpanzees. Environmental factors can explain many of these increases in disease risk, but species-specific genetic ... -
Evolutionary Divergence of Gene and Protein Expression in the Brains of Humans and Chimpanzees.
(Genome Biol Evol, 2015-07-10)Although transcriptomic profiling has become the standard approach for exploring molecular differences in the primate brain, very little is known about how the expression levels of gene transcripts relate to downstream protein ...
