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 identifies somatic SNVs in non-cancerous human brain tissues and establishes best practices for detecting low-frequency variants.

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.

The paper identifies extensive methylation changes in genes related to facial and vocal anatomy in modern humans compared to ancient humans and chimpanzees.
