Abstract Background Most populations of spider monkeys ( Ateles ) and muriquis Brachyteles ), two Neotropical primate genera, are under severe anthropogenic threats. Yet, taxon-wide population-level studies leveraging their degree endangerment linked to genetic diversity patterns demographic history lacking. To properly address this, there is a need expand from morphological marker-based studies. Results We generated high-coverage genome sequencing for 58 individuals sampled across 8...

Abstract SLC22A10 is an orphan transporter with unknown substrates and function. The goal of this study to elucidate its substrate specificity functional characteristics. In contrast orthologs from great apes, human SLC22A10, tagged green fluorescent protein, not expressed on the plasma membrane. Cells expressing ape exhibit significant accumulation estradiol-17β-glucuronide, unlike those SLC22A10. Sequence alignments reveal a proline at position 220 in humans, which leucine apes. Replacing...

Despite showing the greatest primate diversity on planet, genomic studies Amazonian primates show very little representation in literature. With 48 geolocalized high coverage whole genomes from wild uakari monkeys, we present first population-level study platyrrhines using genome data. In a restricted range of Amazon rainforest, eight species (Cacajao genus) have been described and categorized into bald black groups, based phenotypic ecological differences. slight habitat overlap, that...
