Primate-specific evolution of noncoding element insertion into PLA2G4C and human preterm birth

Primate-specific evolution of noncoding element insertion into PLA2G4C and human preterm birth

Background The onset of birth in humans, like other apes, differs from non-primate mammals in its endocrine physiology. We hypothesize that higher primate-specific gene evolution may lead to these differences and target genes involved in human preterm birth, an area of global health significance. Me...
