Massive primate genome study spans 269 species

Original: Massive primate genome panel spans 269 species and rewrites the rules of comparison

Researchers have assembled genomic data covering 269 primate species in what is described as a major expansion of comparative genetics. The panel, reported by Bioengineer.org, is said to 'rewrite the rules of comparison', offering a far broader reference for studying primate evolution, genetics and disease than previous datasets limited to a handful of well-sequenced species.

Why now: The unusually large scale of the genome panel could reshape how scientists compare primate genetics and evolution.
