Accelerated Recruitment of New Brain Development Genes into the Human Genome (original) (raw)

Proportion of young genes out of all genes differentially expressed between developmental stages.
For all samples, we compared two developmental stages, identified differentially expressed genes, and then plotted the proportion of young genes out of all early stage or late stage biased genes (Methods). The temporal lobe (one part of the neocortex) and cerebrum data compared fetal and adult brains, while the other three datasets compared infant with subsequent stages (Tables S1, S2).
