Genome-wide coancestry reveals details of ancient and recent male-driven reticulation in baboons

Genomic data from 225 baboons reveal novel inter-species gene flow sites and local admixture effects across different lineages.

Hibernation shows no apparent effect on germline mutation rates in grizzly bears

This study finds no difference in male mutation bias or per-generation mutation rates between hibernating grizzly bears and non-hibernating species.

Comparative Molecular Genomic Analyses of a Spontaneous Rhesus Macaque Model of Mismatch Repair-Deficient Colorectal Cancer

This study characterizes a spontaneous MMRd CRC model in rhesus macaques, finding high MSI levels and gene expression patterns similar to human CRC, supporting their use as an animal model.

De novo mutations in domestic cat are consistent with an effect of reproductive longevity on both the rate and spectrum of mutations

This study estimates the mutation rate in domestic cats and finds a paternal age effect, suggesting reproductive longevity influences mutation rate and spectrum across species.

Ribosome fingerprinting with a solid-state nanopore

This study uses solid-state nanopores to distinguish 80S ribosomes from polysomes in human and Drosophila cells based on peak amplitude and dwell time.

Primate phylogenomics uncovers multiple rapid radiations and ancient interspecific introgression

This study uses genome-wide data to resolve primate phylogenetic relationships, identifying multiple radiations and ancient introgression events.

Paternal age in rhesus macaques is positively associated with germline mutation accumulation but not with measures of offspring sociability

This study estimates the de novo mutation rate in rhesus macaques and finds it is lower than in humans, but paternal age still correlates with increased mutations. No association is found between paternal age and offspring sociability.

Origins and long-term patterns of copy-number variation in rhesus macaques

This study examines CNV mutation patterns in rhesus macaques, finding low mutation rates, no age correlation, and more segregating deletions than duplications compared to humans.

MHC genotyping from rhesus macaque exome sequences

This study introduces a method to genotype MHC class I and II from rhesus macaque exome sequences with high accuracy, outperforming conventional methods.

Reproductive longevity predicts mutation rates in primates

The paper shows that paternal age determines de novo mutation rates in owl monkeys and proposes a model linking reproductive longevity to mutation rates across primates.
