Differential DNA methylation of vocal and facial anatomy genes in modern humans

Differential DNA methylation of vocal and facial anatomy genes in modern humans

How traits specific to modern humans have evolved is difficult to study. Here, Gokhman et al. compare measured and reconstructed DNA methylation maps of present-day humans, archaic humans and chimpanzees and find that genes that affect vocal tract and facial anatomy show methylation changes between...
