Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation.

Guojie Zhang, +106 more
- 12 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: This work explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 avian species representing all major extant clades to reveal that pan-avian genomic diversity covaries with adaptations to different lifestyles and convergent evolution of traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three crocodilian genomes reveal ancestral patterns of evolution among archosaurs

Richard E. Green, +60 more
- 12 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: An exceptionally slow rate of genome evolution within crocodilians at all levels is observed, consistent with a single underlying cause of a reduced rate of evolutionary change rather than intrinsic differences in base repair machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic relationships and divergence times among New World monkeys (Platyrrhini, Primates)

TL;DR: Divergence time estimations using both local molecular clock and Bayesian approaches suggest the families diverged from one another over a short period of geological time in the late Oligocene-early Miocene.
Journal ArticleDOI

A fully resolved genus level phylogeny of neotropical primates (Platyrrhini).

TL;DR: This study provides a framework for using non-genic, non-coding markers in comparative primate phylogenomic studies in species whose genomes are not yet scheduled for complete sequencing and confidently inferred that Pitheciidae is the sister taxon to the other two platyrrhine families.
