First quantitative survey delineates the distribution of chimpanzees in the Eastern Central African Republic
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat
Vast, pristine ecosystems and their biodiversity are vanishing globally at frightening speed, but many large tracts of wilderness have not yet been systematically inventoried and important natural populations of threatened species remain poorly characteriz ...
Elsevier2017The Impact of Linked Selection in Chimpanzees: A Comparative Study
Jeffrey David Jensen, Susanne Petra Pfeifer
Levels of nucleotide diversity vary greatly across the genomes of most species owing to multiple factors. These include variation in the underlying mutation rates, as well as the effects of both direct and linked selection. Fundamental to interpreting the ...
Oxford University Press (OUP)2016Human-Specific Histone Methylation Signatures at Transcription Start Sites in Prefrontal Neurons
Cognitive abilities and disorders unique to humans are thought to result from adaptively driven changes in brain transcriptomes, but little is known about the role of cis-regulatory changes affecting transcription start sites (TSS). Here, we mapped in huma ...
Public Library Science2012Variation in Transcription Factor Binding Among Humans
Differences in gene expression may play a major role in speciation and phenotypic diversity. We examined genome-wide differences in transcription factor (TF) binding in several humans and a single chimpanzee by using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed ...
