This pattern, consistent with compensatory evolution, was confirmed using massively parallel reporter assays in chimpanzee and human neural progenitor cells. The species-specific enhancer activity of HARs was accurately predicted from the presence and absence of transcription factor footprints in each species. Despite these striking cis effects, activity of a given HAR sequence was...2023-01-302h 00![World Reading Club [W[R]C]](https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/8d0efe329a35824a85077ff10247385d.jpg)
