Neuroblastoma Breakpoint Family 3mer Higher Order Repeats/Olduvai Triplet Pattern in the Complete Genome of Human and Nonhuman Primates and Relation to Cognitive Capacity
These findings support the hypothesis that the tandem organization of NBPF 3mer HORs/Olduvai triplets plays a crucial role in enhancing cognitive capacity in humans compared to great apes, potentially providing a significant evolutionary advantage. This effect complements the impact of the increased number of individual NBPF monomers/Olduvai sequences, together contributing to a synergistic amplification effect.
