Mol Ecol 19:5332-44. 2010..585%), western chimpanzees have a low ratio (0.42) of X chromosomal (π = 0.034%) to autosomal (chromosome 21 π = 0.081%) sequence diversity, a pattern that may reflect an unusual demographic history of this subspecies...
Comparative RNA sequencing reveals substantial genetic variation in endangered primatesGeorge H Perry
Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Genome Res 22:602-10. 2012..Our observations imply that many endangered lemur populations still harbor considerable genetic variation. Timely efforts to conserve these species alongside their habitats have, therefore, strong potential to achieve long-term success...
A genome sequence resource for the aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis), a nocturnal lemur from MadagascarGeorge H Perry
Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, IL, USA
Genome Biol Evol 4:126-35. 2012..Yet this level of genetic diversity also suggests that conservation efforts benefiting this unusual species should be prioritized, especially in the face of the accelerating degradation and fragmentation of Madagascar's forests...
