Massive primate genome panel spans 269 species

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

Scientists have assembled a genomic panel covering 269 primate species, creating one of the most comprehensive comparative datasets for the order that includes humans, apes and monkeys. The resource is being described as rewriting the rules of comparison, allowing researchers to trace evolutionary relationships and identify which genetic changes are shared across primates and which are uniquely human.

Why now: The sheer scale of the dataset compared with earlier primate genome efforts makes it a landmark resource for evolutionary and biomedical research.
