Information ‘Deleted’ From The Human Genome May Be What Made Us Human

A new study led by Yale University and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has discovered that information 'deleted' from the human genome may be what made us human.

Discovering our origins requires deciphering the chemical and genetic differences that distinguish humans from our closest primate relatives. Sequence loss has received less attention, but changes in conserved evolutionary regions rich in biological function are more likely to have phenotypic effects.
