In 2001, first reports of the human draft genome were published. Since
then, genomes of many other organisms have been sequenced, including
several primate species: the chimpanzee, rhesus macaque, gorilla,
orangutan, gibbon, baboon, marmoset, tarsier, galago, lemur, and more
recently Neanderthals. In a new era of "post-genome biology", scientists
now have the vast amount of information revealed by genome research to
confront one of the most challenging, fundamental questions in
primatology and anthropology: What makes us human? This volume comprises
a collection of articles on a variety of topics relevant to primate
genomes, including evolution, human origins, genome structure,
chromosome genomics, and bioinformatics. The book covers the
cutting-edge research in molecular primatology and provides great
insights into the functional diversity of primates. This valuable
collection will benefit researchers and students, including
primatologists, anthropologists, molecular biologists, evolutionary
biologists, and animal behaviorists.
