Assistant Professor @EmoryUniversity @EmoryGenetics, interested in Human Accelerated Regions, transposable elements, brain evolution, prostate cancer
Joined March 2012
How did humans develop unique traits despite sharing nearly identical genomes with other primates like chimpanzees? Together with Han Yang (@HanYang_Henry), our new study on human accelerated regions (HARs) sheds light on this question @ 1/12.
