Selection of Olduvai Domains during Evolution: A Role for Primate-Specific Splicing Super-Enhancer and RNA Guanine Quadruplex in Bipartite NBPF Exons

Olduvai protein domains (also known as DUF1220 or NBPF) have undergone the greatest human-specific increase in the copy number of any coding region in the genome. Their repeat number was strongly associated with the evolutionary expansion of brain volumes, neuron counts and cognitive abilities, as w...
