Inferring the Landscapes of Mutation and Recombination in the Common Marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) in the Presence of Twinning and Hematopoietic Chimerism
The common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) is one of the most commonly used nonhuman primate models in biomedical research. Yet, the population genomics of the species remains relatively poorly characterized, despite the critical importance of this knowledge in many areas of research including genome‐wide association studies, models of polygenic risk scores, and scans for the targets of selection. This neglect owes, at least in part, to two biolo…
Inferring the Demographic History of Coppery Titi Monkeys ( Plecturocebus cupreus ) From High‐Quality, Whole‐Genome, Population‐Level Data
Despite being an important biomedical model species for social behavior, the natural population history of the coppery titi monkey ( Plecturocebus cupreus ) remains largely uncharacterized, in part due to the scarcity of genomic resources available for the species. Apart from the inherent interest in the demographic dynamics of this abundant platyrrhine native to the Amazon forest of Brazil and Peru, this quantification will also serve as a centr…
Interpreting Patterns of X Chromosomal Relative to Autosomal Diversity in Aye‐Ayes ( Daubentonia madagascariensis )
We here present high‐quality, population‐level sequencing data from the X chromosome of the highly‐endangered aye‐aye, Daubentonia madagascariensis . Using both polymorphism‐ and divergence‐based inference approaches, we quantify fine‐scale mutation and recombination rate maps, study the demographic and selective processes additionally shaping variation on the X chromosome, and compare these estimates to those recently inferred from the autosomes…
Estimating the Distribution of Fitness Effects in Aye‐Ayes ( Daubentonia madagascariensis ), Accounting for Population History as Well as Mutation and Recombination Rate Heterogeneity
The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) characterizes the range of selection coefficients from which new mutations are sampled, and thus holds a fundamentally important role in evolutionary genomics. To date, DFE inference in primates has been largely restricted to haplorrhines, with limited data availability leaving the other suborder of primates, strepsirrhines, largely under‐explored. To advance our understanding of the population genetics o…
Re‐Evaluating the Demographic History of, and Inferring the Fine‐Scale Recombination Landscape For, Wild Chinese Rhesus Macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
As a major model for biomedical research, the rhesus macaque ( Macaca mulatta ) is one of the most important and heavily studied nonhuman primates. Despite this importance, the level of population structure and subspecific division in this species remains relatively unclear; for example, the number of proposed subspecies in the literature ranges from one to six within China, with additional populations found across India. Motivated by an interest…
Recent Insights Into the Evolutionary Genomics of the Critically Endangered Aye‐Aye ( Daubentonia madagascariensis )
Endemic to the island of Madagascar, the enigmatic aye‐aye is amongst the most endangered primates on the planet. Due to their nocturnal and arboreal lifestyle and large geographic ranges, much remains unknown about these lemurs. The publication of a recent high‐quality reference assembly with gene‐level annotations, together with whole‐genome population‐level sequencing data, has facilitated a number of studies modeling the fundamental evolution…
