Humans have adapted to the chronic hypoxia of high altitude in several locations, and
recent genome-wide studies have indicated a genetic basis. In some populations, genetic …

The Genome 10K Project was established in 2009 by a consortium of biologists and
genome scientists determined to facilitate the sequencing and analysis of the complete …

Comparative analysis of primate genomes within a phylogenetic context is essential for
understanding the evolution of human genetic architecture and primate diversity. We present …

The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is a widely distributed top predator and ancestor of the domestic
dog. To address questions about wolf relationships to each other and dogs, we assembled …

Of all the non-human primate species studied by researchers, the rhesus macaque (Macaca
mulatta) is likely the most widely used across biological disciplines. Rhesus macaques have …

Our understanding of the evolutionary history of primates is undergoing continual revision
due to ongoing genome sequencing efforts. Bolstered by growing fossil evidence, these …

The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer,
and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …

Fossil evidence indicates that numerous catarrhine clades of African origin expanded or
shifted their ranges into Eurasia, among them macaques Macaca Lacépède, 1799 …

China is facing an unprecedented set of challenges in balancing the effects of economic
development and global climate change with environmental protection and maintaining …

Genome-wide data on genetic variation are now available for multiple primate species and
populations, facilitating analyses of evolutionary history within and across taxa. One …
