FOXP transcription factors are an evolutionarily ancient protein subfamily coordinating the
development of several organ systems in the vertebrate body. Association of their genes …

Insights into the evolution of non-model organisms are limited by the lack of reference
genomes of high accuracy, completeness, and contiguity. Here, we present a chromosome …

Mutations in FOXP1 have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders including
intellectual disability and autism; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain ill …

Identifying molecular specializations in cortical circuitry supporting complex behaviors, like
learned vocalizations, requires understanding of the neuroanatomical context from which …

Recent advances in the genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) have identified
the transcription factor FOXP2 as one of numerous risk genes, eg in autism spectrum …

Mutations in the transcription factors FOXP1 and FOXP2 are associated with speech
impairments. FOXP1 is additionally linked to cognitive deficits, as is FOXP4. These FoxP …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are characterized by impaired learning of social skills
and language. Memories of how parents and other social models behave are used to guide …

Mutations affecting the transcription factor FOXP2 cause a rare form of severe speech and
language disorder. Although it is clear that sufficient FOXP2 expression is crucial for normal …

Genetic mutations of FOXP1 and FOXP2 are associated with neurodevelopmental diseases.
It is important to characterize the cell types that express Foxp1 and Foxp2 in the brain. Foxp1 …

The Forkhead transcription factor FOXP2 is implicated in speech perception and production.
The avian homolog, FoxP2 contributes to song learning and production in birds. In human …
