Segmental duplications (SDs) contribute significantly to human disease, evolution and
diversity but have been difficult to resolve at the sequence level. We present a population …

Advances in sequencing technologies have enabled the comparison of high-quality
genomes of diverse primate species, revealing vast amounts of divergence due to structural …

We present haplotype-resolved reference genomes and comparative analyses of six ape
species, namely: chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan …

The evolutionary expansion of the neocortex in the ape lineage is the basis for the
development of higher cognitive abilities. However, the human brain has uniquely increased …

The NPIP (nuclear pore interacting protein) gene family has expanded to high copy number
in humans and African apes where it has been subject to an excess of amino acid …

Genomic drivers of human-specific neurological traits remain largely undiscovered.
Duplicated genes expanded uniquely in the human lineage likely contributed to brain …
