The completion of the Human Genome Project has provided a foundational blueprint for
understanding human life. Nonetheless, understanding the intricate mechanisms through …

Noncoding DNA is central to our understanding of human gene regulation and complex
diseases,, and measuring the evolutionary sequence constraint can establish the functional …

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

While CD4+ T cell depletion is key to disease progression in people living with HIV and SIV-
infected macaques, the mechanisms underlying this depletion remain incompletely …

Humans, dolphins, and elephants are the only known species that vocally label their
conspecifics. It remains unclear whether nonhuman primates share this ability. We recorded …

The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is the only extant member of the
Daubentoniidae primate family. Although several reference genomes exist for this …

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

Although the continual expansion of the brain during primate evolution accounts for our
enhanced cognitive capabilities, the drivers of brain evolution have scarcely been explored …

Phylogenomic analyses of long sequences, consisting of many genes and genomic
segments, reconstruct organismal relationships with high statistical confidence. But, inferred …

Understanding the drivers of speciation is fundamental in evolutionary biology, and recent
studies highlight hybridization as an important evolutionary force. Using whole-genome …
