A curated genome-scale nucleotide diversity panel of non-human primates

Primates constitute one of the most phylogenetically and ecologically diverse eutherian mammalian orders and have a central role in advancing our knowledge of human evolution, speciation processes, and conservation biology. Although thousands of whole-genome sequences are availab...

Comparison of the Distribution of Fitness Effects Across Primates

Abstract The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of mutations is a key determinant of both the efficacy of natural selection and the genetic load of populations. It also provides an indirect summary of the underlying fitness landscape, so the extent to which the DFE is conserve...
