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.

TL;DR: It is shown that species with lower synonymous polymorphism have higher levels of nonsynonymous polymorphism and larger content of repetitive sequences in their genomes, suggesting a diminished efficiency of selection in species with smaller effective population size.

TL;DR: This work combined several tests that capture different signatures of selection to show that there is evidence of positive selection in the regions flanking FBti0019386 insertion and shed light on the evolutionary history, the relevant fitness effects, and the likely molecular mechanisms of an adaptive mutation.

TL;DR: DPDB is a web site that provides a daily updated repository of all well-annotated polymorphic sequences in the Drosophila genus and uses PDA, a pipeline that automates the process of sequence retrieval, grouping, alignment and estimation of nucleotide diversity from Genbank sequences in different functional regions.

TL;DR: The present study provides relevant evidence on the importance of intron content and expression patterns on the levels of coding polymorphism and shows that genes with a high regulatory complexity and many genetic interactions also exhibit larger amounts of CNS within their introns and lower values of nonsynonymous polymorphism.
