This study examines VR gene repertoires and olfactory behaviors in wild capuchin monkeys, finding evolutionary constraint on VRs and a diverse set of olfactory behaviors suggesting a role in social communication.

This study shows that DNA methylation from fecal samples accurately reflects molecular aging in wild capuchin monkeys, revealing age-related epigenetic changes linked to cellular damage and inflammation.

This study uses non-invasive genomic sampling to analyze genetic diversity in wild gorillas, revealing population clusters and migration patterns, and predicts geographic origins with high accuracy.

Cross-species genome-phenome mapping in primates reveals thousands of protein-coding variants linked to the evolution of complex traits.

This study uses fecal proteomics to show how season, diet, age, and sex affect gut physiology in wild capuchins.

The paper evaluates the reliability of phylogenetic inference using primate enamel proteins by simulating sequence fragmentation and comparing results to a reference species tree.

The paper uses primate genetic data to predict human variant pathogenicity with a deep learning classifier trained on 4.3 million common missense variants.

This study presents whole-genome data from 233 primate species, revealing patterns of genetic diversity, mutation rates, and recurrent missense mutations across primate clades.

The paper analyzes ACE2 gene sequences in strepsirrhine primates to assess their susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2, finding high variability and potential risk in some species.

This study presents the first genome annotation of a capuchin monkey and identifies genes under positive selection related to longevity, brain development, and adaptation to diverse environments.
