The chimpanzee genome sequence is a long-awaited milestone, providing opportunities to
explore primate evolution and genetic contributions to human physiology and disease …

The role and importance of natural hybridization in the evolutionary histories of animal taxa
is still debated. This results largely from a history of zoological investigations that assumed …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

The divergence of two subspecies of common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes
and P. t. verus) and the bonobo (P. paniscus) was studied using a recently developed …

The divergence of bonobos and three subspecies of the common chimpanzee was
examined under a multipopulation isolation-with-migration (IM) model with data from 73 loci …

Copy number variants (CNVs) underlie many aspects of human phenotypic diversity and
provide the raw material for gene duplication and gene family expansion. However, our …

Abstract Analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence variation has been used extensively to
study the evolutionary relationships of individuals and populations, both within and across …

Observations of numerous dramatic and presumably adaptive phenotypic modifications
during human evolution prompt the common belief that more genes have undergone …

Copy number variation is surprisingly common among humans and can be involved in
phenotypic diversity and variable susceptibility to complex diseases, but little is known of the …

The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer,
and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …
