Caceres et al. 2003. Elevated gene expression levels distinguish human from non-human primate brains. PNAS 100:13030-13035

1. How do structural differences in human and primate brains compare to differences in gene expression?
2. In a previous lecture, we discussed the statistical technique called “boot strapping.” What did they do in this paper that is similar?
3. Why do you think the differences between gene expression in chimp and human hearts and livers were much less dramatic?
4. Why do you think it so important to have multiple lines of evidence to support the conclusions of this paper?
5. What do you think was the most interesting finding in this paper?
