Tarsiers are phylogenetically located between the most basal strepsirrhines and the most
derived anthropoid primates. While they share morphological features with both groups, they …

One of the most disputed issues in primate evolution and thus of our own primate roots, is
the phylogenetic position of the Southeast Asian tarsier. While much molecular data indicate …

The phylogenetic position of tarsiers within the primates has been a controversial subject for
over a century. Despite numerous morphological and molecular studies, there has been …

Transpositions of Alu sequences, representing the most abundant primate short
interspersed elements (SINE), were evaluated as molecular cladistic markers to analyze the …

Transposable elements provide a highly informative marker system for analyzing
evolutionary histories. To solve controversially discussed topics in strepsirrhine phylogeny …

The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) died out about several thousand years ago,
yet recent paleogenomic studies have successfully recovered genetic information from both …

Short INterspersed Elements (SINEs) make very useful phylogenetic markers because the
integration of a particular element at a location in the genome is irreversible and of known …

The primate order is a monophyletic group thought to have diverged from the Euarchonta
more than 65 mya. 1 Recent paleontological and molecular evolution studies place the last …

Tarsiers and extinct tarsier-like primates have played a central role in views of primate
phylogeny and evolution for more than a century. Because of the importance of tarsiers in so …

Related genomes tend to be colonized by the same or similar repetitive sequence elements.
Analysis of these elements provides useful taxonomic information. We have sequenced Alu …
