An Evolutionary Genomic Approach to Identify Genes Involved in Human Birth Timing

An Evolutionary Genomic Approach to Identify Genes Involved in Human Birth Timing

Coordination of fetal maturation with birth timing is essential for mammalian reproduction. In humans, preterm birth is a disorder of profound global health significance. The signals initiating parturition in humans have remained elusive, due to divergence in physiological mechanisms between humans...
