RAI1 safeguards fidelity and tempo of human neurodevelopmental gene expression

Human brain development proceeds on an unusually long timeline relative to other species, a feature that is thought to foster advanced cognitive abilities.

Human brain development proceeds on an unusually long timeline relative to other species, a feature that is thought to foster advanced cognitive abilities. The Retinoic Acid Induced 1 (RAI1) gene encodes a nucleosome-binding protein, and its haploinsufficiency is responsible for…
