Functional enhancer elements drive subclass-selective expression from mouse to primate neocortex

Summary: Viral genetic tools that target specific brain cell types could transform basic neuroscience and targeted gene therapy. Here, we use comparative open chromatin analysis to identify thousands of human-neocortical-subclass-specific putative enhancers from across the genome to control gene exp...
