Changes in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression have important implications for evolution. However, the study of these changes (i) has not been consistently assessed across closely related species, (ii) oftentimes has ignored evolutionarily relevant genomic regions, and (iii) has been limited to specific epigenetic features. In this thesis, we have explored gene regulation through the lens of primate evolution and human populations. Namely, we characterized a panel of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) from five primates and highlighted the particularly relevant role of weak regulatory elements in evolution. We then studied DNA methylation, a particular epigenetic mechanism, in a structurally complex chromosome –the Y chromosome– acros...
