1) has only one, whereas there are ten in the orangutans. NORs have changed location throughout ape evolution, meaning that the chromosomes they are found on differ across species. This could be ...

The resource is already lending itself to comparative studies that offer new insights into human and ape evolution, and into what underlies the functional differences among these species.

An international research team has mapped the genomes of six ape species, revealing genetic distinctions that shed light on primate evolution. The study, published in Nature, provides a deeper ...

Researchers have sequenced the complete genomes of six ape species, helping uncover the evolutionary history of our closest relatives and offering insights into what makes humans human.

Differences among the DNA of seven ape species—including humans—are ... for endangered species as well as understanding of human evolution and health. "This is a milestone for comparative ...
