Whole-genome sequencing provides insights into the evolutionary adaptation and conservation of gibbons.

Abstract excerpt

Gibbons are small, arboreal apes that play a critical role in tropical biodiversity and ecosystem ecology. However, nearly all species of gibbons are threatened by habitat loss, illegal trade, hunting, and other human activities. Long-term poor understanding of their genetics and evolution undermines effective conservation efforts. In this study, we analyse comparative population genomic data of four Nomascus...
