Widespread differences in cortex DNA methylation of the “language gene” CNTNAP2 between humans and chimpanzees

CNTNAP2, one of the largest genes in the human genome, has been linked to human-specific language abilities and neurodevelopmental disorders. Our hypothesis is that epigenetic rather than genetic changes have accelerated the evolution of the human brain. To compare the cortex DNA methylation pattern...
