Comparative and demographic analysis of orang-utan genomes.

Devin P. Locke, +106 more
- 27 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: The orang-utan species, Pongo abelii and Pongo pygmaeus, are the most phylogenetically distant great apes from humans, thereby providing an informative perspective on hominid evolution and a primate polymorphic neocentromere, found in both Pongo species are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns and rates of intron divergence between humans and chimpanzees

TL;DR: The first analysis of human-chimpanzee intron divergence is presented, in which differences in the number of substitutions per intronic site (Ki) can be interpreted as the footprint of different intensities and directions of the pressures of natural selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allele-specific gene expression is widespread across the genome and biological processes.

TL;DR: ASGE is a widespread mechanism in the human genome whose regulation seems to be far more complex than expected and therefore, for the development of complex traits and diseases.
Reference EntryDOI

The Evolution of Introns in Human Genes

TL;DR: The finishing of the chimpanzee genome allowed for new and more detailed studies that are proving to be key to unveil intronic functions, and these studies show high levels of nucleotide substitution in human introns.
