Comparative genomics of brain size evolution
Which genetic changes took place during mammalian, primate and human evolution to build a larger brain? To answer this question, one has to correlate genetic changes with brain size changes across a phylogeny. Such a comparative genomics approach provides unique information to better understand brain evolution and brain development. However, its statistical power is limited for example due to t...
متن کاملSocial life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size
Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...
متن کاملThe evolution of comparative genomics
The field of comparative genomics arose hand-in-hand with the ability to generate genomic sequence data. The first computer algorithms to compare amino acid sequences were developed over forty years ago (Fitch 1966; Needleman and Wunsch 1970)and improved upon as nucleic acid sequencing advanced (Sanger et al. 1977) with the application of improved statistical methods to the growing database of ...

Comparison of pri...
متن کاملYeast evolution and comparative genomics.
Recent sequencing efforts and experiments have advanced our understanding of genome evolution in yeasts, particularly the Saccharomyces yeasts. The ancestral genome of the Saccharomyces sensu stricto complex has been subject to both whole-genome duplication, followed by massive sequence loss and divergence, and segmental duplication. In addition the subtelomeric regions are subject to further d...
