Genomic structural variation: A complex but important driver of human evolution

Check out our recently published review in Yearbook American Journal of Biological Anthropology, led by multiple former and current PhD students Daniela Soto, José Uribe-Salazar, Colin Shew, Sean McGinty, and Aarthi Sekar. We share challenges in detecting structural variation and the roles they play in human evolution. In particular, we highlight top candidate human duplicated genes implicated in brain development, detailed below.
