Complete mitochondrial (mtDNA) genomes have proved to be useful in reconstructing
primate phylogenies with higher resolution and confidence compared to reconstructions …

Background We have analyzed the complete mitochondrial genomes of 22 Pan paniscus
(bonobo, pygmy chimpanzee) individuals to assess the detailed mitochondrial DNA …

Here, we report the sequencing and analysis of eight complete mitochondrial genomes of
chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) from each of the three established subspecies (P. t …

Investigations into the evolutionary history of the common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes,
have produced inconsistent results due to differences in the types of molecular data …

Primates, the mammalian order including our own species, comprise 480 species in 78
genera. Thus, they represent the third largest of the 18 orders of eutherian mammals …

Mitochondrial genome (mt-genome) sequences are widely used in molecular phylogenetic
studies because of their relatively small size and of the strict orthology of their genes. It is …

Inconsistencies between phylogenetic interpretations obtained from independent sources of
molecular data occasionally hamper the recovery of the true evolutionary history of certain …

The origins and the divergence times of the most basal lineages within primates have been
difficult to resolve mainly due to the incomplete sampling of early fossil taxa. The main …

Cercopithecus aethiops can be classified into four subspecies by morphology and by
geographic distribution. However, the phylogenetic relationship between these subspecies …

African green monkeys (Chlorocebus) represent a widely distributed and morphologically
diverse primate genus in sub‐Saharan Africa. Little attention has been paid to their genetic …
