The paper presents the first telomere-to-telomere genome for the common marmoset, revealing genomic features and a pangenome resource for biomedical research.

The paper investigates how ancient admixture drives homoploid hybrid speciation and genomic erosion in Asian langurs, identifying key genetic mechanisms and consequences.

The study analyzes genetic diversity in two small populations of Colobus vellerosus in Benin using mitochondrial markers, finding very low diversity due to a potential genetic bottleneck.

The paper identifies Lemuricola nycticebi in Bengal slow lorises from Bangladesh, expanding its known geographic range and highlighting parasitic threats to these primates.

The paper shows that island isolation and genetic drift rapidly drive speciation in macaques, leading to genomic divergence, loss of diversity, and adaptive mutations.

The paper investigates genetically based sperm discrimination in primates by examining vaginal immune responses and pH changes after mating with genetically similar males.

This study uses molecular data to revise the taxonomy of saki monkeys, identifying six species instead of the previously recognized two.

This study uses low-coverage whole genome sequencing to investigate the genomic basis of derived dwarfism and exudivory in Callithrix marmosets, identifying candidate genes under positive selection.

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.

This study compares mitogenome and mtDNA control region markers to determine the ancestry and diversity of captive Callithrix jacchus marmosets, finding mitogenomes provide better resolved phylogenies.

The paper reconstructs the mitogenome phylogeny of Callithrix marmosets, identifies hybridization events, and provides divergence time estimates for species within the genus.

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 examines how sex and other factors influence the urogenital microbiome of rhesus monkeys, finding differences in diversity and similarity between male and female microbiomes.

The paper identifies naturally occurring simian Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue strains in African nonhuman primates, showing genomic similarity to human TPE strains.
