  • Michael Hammer and colleagues follow two recent conflicting reports regarding the ratio of X-linked to autosomal nucleotide diversity by examining this question in a larger resequencing dataset and in publicly available sequence data from six human genomes. They suggest that the patterns of nucleotide diversity are influenced by local selection near genes that more strongly affects the X chromosome than the autosomes.

  • The genome of the gibbon, a tree-dwelling ape from Asia positioned between Old World monkeys and the great apes, is presented, providing insights into the evolutionary history of gibbon species and their accelerated karyotypes, as well as evidence for selection of genes such as those for forelimb development and connective tissue that may be important for locomotion through trees.

  • High-coverage sequencing of 79 (wild and captive) individuals representing all six non-human great ape species has identified over 88 million single nucleotide polymorphisms providing insight into ape genetic variation and evolutionary history and enabling comparison with human genetic diversity.
