Research proceedings on primate comparative genomics
LIAO, Cheng-Hong & SU, Bing
Abstract
With the accomplishment of genome sequencing of human, chimpanzee and other primates, there has
been a great amount of primate genome information accumulated. Primate comparative genomics has become a new
research field at current genome era. In this article, we reviewed recent progress in phylogeny, genome structure and gene
expression of human and nonhuman primates, and we elaborated the major biological differences among human,
chimpanzee and other non-human primate species, which is informative in revealing the mechanism of human evolution.
Keywords
