What Cheetahs, Armadillos, and Whales Revealed About Human DNA

New York Times—A group of studies comparing the human genome to that of 239 other mammalian species has cast light on what makes humans unique. In particular, work from Katie Pollard, director of the Gladstone Institute of Data Science and Biotechnology, shows that changes to the way DNA folds may have been a part of what allowed humans to evolve large, powerful brains.
