Great ape genetic diversity and population history

Javier Prado-Martinez, +79 more
- 25 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: This comprehensive catalogue of great ape genome diversity provides a framework for understanding evolution and a resource for more effective management of wild and captive great ape populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gibbon genome and the fast karyotype evolution of small apes

Lucia Carbone, +99 more
- 11 Sep 2014 - 
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

Genome sequence and mutational analysis of plant-growth-promoting bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens CCNWGS0286 Isolated from a zinc-lead mine tailing.

TL;DR: It is revealed that phytohormones, rather than genes encoding zinc resistance determinants, were the dominant factor in enhancing plant growth in contaminated soil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomics in Personalized Nutrition: Can You "Eat for Your Genes"?

TL;DR: This review discusses direct to consumer genetic testing (DTC-GT) and the current potential for precision nutrition based on an individual’s genetic data and several examples are provided illustrating how genotypic information could be used to inform nutritional recommendations.
