We combined massively parallel reporter assays with stem cell technology to show that nearly half of all Human Accelerated Regions (HARs) function as gene regulatory enhancers in human and chimpanzee neurons. We also detected differences in enhancer activity between human and chimpanzee HAR sequences, including interactions between nearby mutations. Check out the pre-print, story in Scientific American, and press release.
