TL;DR: An interactive system, Galaxy, that combines the power of existing genome annotation databases with a simple Web portal to enable users to search remote resources, combine data from independent queries, and visualize the results.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of an Indian-origin Macaca mulatta female is determined and compared with chimpanzees and humans to reveal the structure of ancestral primate genomes and to identify evidence for positive selection and lineage-specific expansions and contractions of gene families.

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.

TL;DR: The extent of whole-genome and exome diversity among the five men, reporting 1.3 million novel DNA differences genome-wide, including 13,146 novel amino acid variants, suggests the Bushmen seem to be more different from each other than, for example, a European and an Asian.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that brown bears and PBs have had sufficiently independent evolutionary histories over the last 4–5 million years to leave imprints in the PB nuclear genome that likely are associated with ecological adaptation to the Arctic environment.
