Dental topography and diet in marsupials and comparisons with primates

This study evaluates dental topographic metrics to predict diet in marsupials and compares them to primates, finding varying accuracy depending on the metric and species.

Phylogenetic signal in primate tooth enamel proteins and its relevance for paleoproteomics

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 landscape of tolerated genetic variation in humans and primates

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

A global catalog of whole-genome diversity from 233 primate species

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