Journal ArticleDOI

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

Higher levels of neanderthal ancestry in East Asians than in Europeans.

TL;DR: The results combined with those previously published show that a more complex model of admixture between Neanderthals and modern humans is necessary to account for the different levels of Neanderthal ancestry among human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genomics of speciation in Drosophila: diversity, divergence, and introgression estimated using low-coverage genome sequencing.

TL;DR: It is concluded that chromosomal rearrangements have been vital to the ongoing persistence of these species despite recent hybridization and serves as a proof-of-principle on how whole genome sequencing can be applied to formulate and test hypotheses about species formation in lesser-known non-model systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Function and Regulation of AUTS2, a Gene Implicated in Autism and Human Evolution

TL;DR: The results show that AUTS2 is important for neurodevelopment and expose candidate enhancer sequences in which nucleotide variation could lead to neurological disease and human-specific traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Inversions on Within- and Between-Species Recombination and Divergence

TL;DR: Differences between inversions segregating within versus between species in their effects on recombination and divergence are most likely due to lower frequency of heterokaryotypes and to fitness consequences from the accumulation of various incompatibilities between species.
