Advances in genome sequencing technologies have created new opportunities for
comparative primate genomics. Genome assemblies have been published for various …

Abstract Background Structural variations (SVs) or copy number variations (CNVs) greatly
impact the functions of the genes encoded in the genome and are responsible for diverse …

Evolutionary developmental biology has grown historically from the capacity to relate
patterns of evolution in anatomy to patterns of evolution of expression of specific genes …

We present a high-quality de novo genome assembly (rheMacS) of the Chinese rhesus
macaque (Macaca mulatta) using long-read sequencing and multiplatform scaffolding …

We describe a genome reference of the African green monkey or vervet (Chlorocebus
aethiops). This member of the Old World monkey (OWM) superfamily is uniquely valuable for …

One of the most abundant proteins in human saliva, mucin-7, is encoded by the MUC7 gene,
which harbors copy number variable subexonic repeats (PTS-repeats) that affect the size …

Background Detecting copy number variations (CNVs) and copy number alterations (CNAs)
based on whole-genome sequencing data is important for personalized genomics and …

Natural selection is crucial for the adaptation of populations to their environments. Here, we
present the first global study of natural selection in the Hominidae (humans and great apes) …

Copy number variants (CNVs), deletions and duplications of segments of DNA, account for
at least five times more variable base pairs in humans than single-nucleotide variants …

From prokaryotes to eukaryotes, phenotypic variation, adaptation and speciation has been
associated with structural variation between genomes of individuals within the same …
