marmoset genome

Here we report the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of the genome of the marmoset, the first New World monkey to be sequenced (Supplementary Note). Our results include comparisons of this platyrrhine genome with the available catarrhine (human, other hominoid and Old World monkey) genomes, identifying previously undetected aspects of catarrhine genome evolution, including positive selection in specific genes and significant conservation of previously unidentified segments of noncoding ...
