TL;DR: The assembly and analysis of a northern white-cheeked gibbon genome is presented and the propensity for a gibbon-specific retrotransposon (LAVA) to insert into chromosome segregation genes and alter transcription by providing a premature termination site is described, suggesting a possible molecular mechanism for the genome plasticity of the gibbon lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primate jumping genes elucidate strepsirrhine phylogeny.
TL;DR: It is concluded that strepsirrhines originated in Africa and that Madagascar and Asia were colonized by respective single immigration events.
