Michael A. Jacobs,Ashley Alwood,Iyarit Thaipisuttikul,David H. Spencer,Eric Haugen,Stephen Ernst,Oliver Will,Rajinder Kaul,Christopher K. Raymond,Ruth Levy,Liu Chun-Rong,Donald Guenthner,Donald Bovee,Maynard V. Olson,Colin Manoil +14 more
TL;DR: P phenotypic analysis of the collection may produce essentially complete lists of genes required for diverse biological activities, as well as facilitate downstream studies of gene expression, protein localization, epistasis, and chromosome engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using the fossil record to estimate the age of the last common ancestor of extant primates.
Simon Tavaré,Charles R. Marshall,Oliver Will,Christophe Soligo,Christophe Soligo,Robert D. Martin +5 more
TL;DR: A new statistical method is presented, based on an estimate of species preservation derived from a model of the diversification pattern, that suggests a Cretaceous last common ancestor of primates, approximately 81.5 Myr ago, close to the initial divergence time inferred from molecular data.
Book ChapterDOI
New Light on the Dates of Primate Origins and Divergence
TL;DR: The known fossil record for undoubted primates of modern aspect (i.e., confined to Euprimates and excluding Plesiadapiformes) dates back to the beginning of the Eocene epoch, about 55 million years ago (myA) as mentioned in this paper.

Estimating the Number of Essential Genes in Random Transposon Mutagenesis Libraries
Oliver Will,Michael A. Jacobs +1 more
TL;DR: Biologists use random transposon mutagenesis to construct knockout libraries for bacteria, but one can no longer ensure that all the nonessential genes will appear in the library, so libraries that have at least five clones per open reading frame are needed to accurately estimate the number of essential genes.
