Non-human primates play a crucial role in nucleic acid drug delivery research because they are the closest animal models to humans in terms of anatomy, physiology and genetics. Non-human primates share many similarities with humans in the structure and function of their organs, tissues and cells...
these sequences uncover remarkable variation between the Y chromosomes of different species, showing rapid evolution, in addition to revealing previously unstudied regions of great ape genomes. Since these primate species are the closest living relatives to humans, the new sequences can provide insights...
