Microcephaly genes evolved adaptively throughout the evolution of eutherian mammals
BACKGROUND: Genes associated with the neurodevelopmental disorder microcephaly display a strong signature of adaptive evolution in primates. Comparative data suggest a link between selection on some of these loci and the evolution of primate brain size. Whether or not either positive selection or th...
