Research Interest
With the completion of human genome sequencing project, scientists are now facing the challenge of understanding the three billion genetic codes in the human genome, i.e. to establish the connections between genetic make-up and their functional consequences. By conducting genome wide comparative genetic analysis among living primates including humans, we aim to understand the genetic mechanism of human origin by answering the following questions:
1. How does genome structure change during primate evolution?
2. How do new genes carrying new functions emerge during primate evolution?
3. What are the genes involved in the progressive changes of cognitive skills during primate evolution, especially during human origin?


On-going Projects

1. Comparative brain gene expression analysis in humans and nonhuman primates.
The genetic mechanism of human cognitive skills is an essential and long-standing question. It is widely believed that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the region of the primate brain responsible for several complex cognitive skills, such as working memory, behavior inhibition, language, and the regulation of emotion and social behavior. With the use of microarray and comparative sequencing tools, we aim to compare gene expression profiles of three functionally well documented PFC sub-regions (the dorsolateral PFC, the inferior convexity, and the orbital frontal cortex) between humans and nonhuman primates. The human oligo chips covering nearly 17,000 human genes will be used to measure interspecies expression differences in order to identify genes showing differential expression between human and nonhuman primates, and hence potentially responsible for the marked PFC functional differences between them. The results from this project will generate new and exciting data regarding the genetic basis of human brain function and will eventually benefit clinical applications in treating human mental disorders.

2. Molecular evolution of fast-evolving genes expressed in the brain and the genetic mechanism of human origin

To identify genetic features that underlie unique human biological traits is the key to understand human origin. The enlarged brain and sophisticated cognitive skills (e.g. language) is one of the most significant adaptive changes during human evolution. The genetic basis for these adaptive changes remains unclear. Genes expressed in the human brain are likely the targets of Darwinian positive selection that result in adaptive functional changes during human evolution. Hence, comparative sequence analysis of rapid-evolving genes expressed in the brain between humans and nonhuman primates is informative in identifying the genetic modifications contributing to human brain functions, and delineating the genetic mechanism of human evolution. Based on a genome-wide screen and sequence comparison of 7,430 brain-expressed genes, 51 candidate genes were identified showing rapid amino acid changes between human and chimpanzee. These candidate genes are involved in varied biological processes, including neurogenesis and transcription regulation, therefore, potentially responsible for the origin of human intelligence. With the use of DNA sequencing technology and analytic tools in molecular evolution and population genetics, we are sequencing the coding regions of the 51 candidate genes and compare them among humans and representative nonhuman primate species in order to identify genes undergone adaptive evolution in the human lineage, to detect human-specific sequence variations that are potentially involved in brain development and functional changes during human evolution.
