To better determine the history of modern birds, we performed a genome-scale phylogenetic
analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves using phylogenomic methods …

Most great ape genetic variation remains uncharacterized 1 , 2 ; however, its study is critical
for understanding population history 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , recombination 7 , selection 8 and …

Gorillas are humans’ closest living relatives after chimpanzees, and are of comparable
importance for the study of human origins and evolution. Here we present the assembly and …

Studies have shown that the bulk of eukaryotic genomes is transcribed. Transcriptome maps
are frequently updated, but low-abundant transcripts have probably gone unnoticed. To …

‘Orang-utan’ is derived from a Malay term meaning ‘man of the forest’ and aptly describes the
southeast Asian great apes native to Sumatra and Borneo. The orang-utan species, Pongo …

… T by M. To jump between the two time scales we either divide by M or multiply by M. As just
… time units we divide j by M and, conversely, we multiply t by M to obtain discrete time from …

Two African apes are the closest living relatives of humans: the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)
and the bonobo (Pan paniscus). Although they are similar in many respects, bonobos and …

To date, the only Neandertal genome that has been sequenced to high quality is from an
individual found in Southern Siberia. We sequenced the genome of a female Neandertal from ~…

The population history of Aboriginal Australians remains largely uncharacterized. Here we
generate high-coverage genomes for 83 Aboriginal Australians (speakers of Pama–Nyungan …

We investigate the shape of a phylogenetic tree reconstructed from sequences evolving
under the coalescent with recombination. The motivation is that evolutionary inferences are …
