Human-specific transposable elements shaped the evolution of craniofacial development through regulation of neural crest migration

2 months ago | biorxiv.org | Laura Deelen |Zoe Mitchell |Martina Demurtas |Marco Trizzino

AbstractCraniofacial development and neural crest specification are evolutionarily conserved processes, yet subtle modifications to their gene regulatory networks drive species-specific craniofacial diversity. Transposable elements (TEs) are increasingly recognized as contributors to genome evolution, but their role in shaping neural crest regulatory programs remains underexplored.
