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...
