TL;DR: The resolution of the primate phylogeny provides an essential evolutionary framework with far-reaching applications including: human selection and adaptation, global emergence of zoonotic diseases, mammalian comparative genomics, primate taxonomy, and conservation of endangered species.

TL;DR: The authors provided new genomic sequence (,8 Mb) from 186 primates representing 61 (,90%) of the described genera, and included outgroup species from Dermoptera, Scandentia, and Lagomorpha.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic performance of distinct gene classes showed that Y-chromosome segments are appreciably more informative than mitochondrial DNA, X-linked, or autosomal genes in resolving the rapid Felidae species radiation.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of an inbred Abyssinian domestic cat was assembled, mapped, and annotated with a comparative approach that involved cross-reference to annotated genome assemblies of six mammals, shedding new light on the tempo and mode of gene/genome evolution in mammals and promising several research applications for the cat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Evidence for Two Species of Elephant in Africa
TL;DR: Dart-biopsy samples from 195 free-ranging African elephants in 21 populations were examined for DNA sequence variation in four nuclear genes and showed large genetic distance, multiple genetically fixed nucleotide site differences, morphological and habitat distinctions, and extremely limited hybridization of gene flow support the recognition and conservation management of two African species.
